It's clear that the single biggest risk factor for poor health, disease and early death is the food we eat.

By focusing on #nutrition in the first 1,000 days, we can work to prevent disease, #obesity and #beatNCDs. https://t.co/kVChrOPuZU

'Sugar tax raises more than 150 million to fight #ChildhoodObesity'. We support the introduction of sugar taxes to alleviate the growing #obesity crisis. Stay tuned for the release of our first policy dossier on #SSBTaxes, this week! https://t.co/ZNi5lhgGjN

[Clare Llewellyn @ClareHLlewellyn]

@doctorabdelkawi @EASOobesity @1000Days @WorldObesity @WHO @EASOresearch @EmmaBoyland A major driver of obesity is the environment. We should add to this list: 1) food & physical activity environments; 2) poverty. It is important to emphasise that obesity is not simply a matter of personal responsibility & choice - we respond to the env we live in. #ComplexSystems

[EASO @EASOobesity]

Agree @1000days

#Obesity #prevention requires action throughout the life course, especially in the first #1000days.
