FDA Proposes Action Plan to Confront Nation's Obesity Problem

Since the late 1980s, obesity has steadily increased in this country. About 64 percent of Americans are overweight and more than 30 percent are obese. To help tackle what FDA is calling the "nation's obesity epidemic," the agency released, on March 12, 2004, the final report of its Obesity Working Group. The group's long- and short-term proposals are based on the scientific fact that weight control is mainly a function of caloric balance. That is, calories in must equal calories out. So FDA is focusing on "calories count" as the basis of its actions and the message of its obesity campaign. Recommended actions include: enhancing the food label to display calorie count more prominently and to use meaningful serving sizes initiating a consumer education campaign focusing on the "Calories Count" message encouraging restaurants to provide nutritional information to consumers stepping up enforcement actions concerning accuracy of food labels revising FDA guidance for developing drugs to treat obesity working cooperatively with other government agencies, non-profits, industry, and academia on obesity research More information on the FDA Obesity Working Group's report: Press release Report Backgrounder Questions and Answers Carbohydrate Facts "Calories Count" (additional information) Letter to Food Manufacturers Sample Labels 2003 FDA Public Meetings on Obesity   horizonal rule FDA Home Page | Search FDA Site | FDA A-Z Index | Contact FDA | Privacy | Accessibility FDA Website Management Staff
