We from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Pacific and the Americas, met in Bellagio, Italy, in June 2013, under the auspices of the International Obesity Task Force and the International Union of Nutritional Sciences, to examine the trends in obesity, actions taken, and the barriers to achieving healthy food policies in Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, and the Pacific Islands. Globalization and modern market economies have brought benefits of improved health and welfare. However, these same forces have also created major negative consequences, including shifts towards unhealthy dietary patterns that are underpinning the rise in obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Four out of five deaths from diet-related NCDs occur in low- and middle-income countries and their toll of premature death and disability is a major impediment to economic and human well-being.URL
