WHO predicts that 74% of men and 64% of women in the UK will be overweight or obese by 2030.

Obesity is winning.

It's an expensive defeat, not just costing millions of people their health and well-being but also the besieged NHS over £15 billion a year.

Why can't we reverse the trend and out think obesity?

There's plenty of people trying. The Government is funding a public health programme, Silicon Valley's big tech companies are releasing wearable health trackers and software, there's a load of Apps that neatly prescribe a healthy diet, whole websites full of good information and Jaime Oliver making TV shows and a TED talk (which is excellent).

These things exhibit clear messaging, good design and innovative functionality.

But they are having no effect.

Why?

Right information. Wrong place.

They are specialised 'healthy' resources and require time and effort to seek out and use. They are not a part of everyday life.

People are busy. Children. Work. Money. Bills. Love. Friends. Cars. Family. Gardens. Enemies. Pets. TV. Hobbies. Many people have no time or mental space to consider something else complicated, like a whole new diet.
