Ethics in obesity interventions

Another recent item on ethics in the NSW Public Health Bulletin is Ethical issues in obesity interventions for populations by Craig L. Fry.  The article discusses ethical questions that we must consider in the justification of obesity interventions in the name of expected population health gains.  The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australia highlights some areas of uncertainty and identifies some important ethical questions that arise as a result.  Fry's aim is to broaden debate on this topic.
