Globalisation:National Obesity Forum 2009 Conference

                                     2009 CONFERENCE

The 2009 conference was held at the Royal College of Physicians and the title of the conference was ‘Obesity – A Time to get serious’. This conference according to the NOF’s own website was said to be ‘another sell out’ thus indicating that prior to 2009 there had been previous sell outs. This conference was said to be aimed at people across the ‘health spectrum’. These people were nurses, surgeons, GP’s and many more. Also included were food representatives from Pizza Hut and Pret a Manger.

The aim of this conference according to the NOF website was to highlight the relationship between the health spectrum and the food companies. This relationship was to be highlighted as being a step forward in encouraging healthy eating through the food industries such as Pizza Hut and Pret a Manger and thus reducing obesity as it will be tackled from all angles.
