Over the past year NHS Health Scotland has worked with Scotcen on the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey to find out what the public think about obesity and the actions that can be taken to address it.
Deborah Shipton, Public Health Intellidence Advisor at NHS Health Scotland, and author of the resport, said:
"The results of the Scottish Social Attitudes Seurvey on obesity are encouraging. They tell us not only that the public agree that the levels of overweight and obesity in Scotland is a problem, but crucially that they believe that supermmarkets, food producers, schools, the media and the government, alongside individuals, all have a role to play to address it."
