'Why are we losing the war against obesity and chronic disease?' This is the        simple question Peter Gluckman and Mark Hanson ask, exploring the dominant myth that        the exploding epidemic of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes can be tackled by        focusing on adult life styles.Addressing the flawed approach of the weight-loss        industry, they explain why a continued focus simply on diet and exercise will fail.          Highlighting the implications of the growing burden of these problems in the        developing world, they show that the scientific enterprise ignores the reality of        the social, cultural, and biological determinants that make different populations        and people respond differently to living in the modern nutritionally rich world.          Gluckman and Hanson review the overwhelmingscientific evidence that much of the        problem emerges in early life and even before birth, identifying that to address        these issues requires considering development in two dimensions - a life course        approach and addressing the developmental challenges of countries emerging through        the socioeconomictransition.Asking why the major global bodies and vested interests        fail to consider these dimensions and continue with failed approaches, they conclude        by discussing the complex interactions between health and the food industry, and        suggest that the food industry must be co-opted as an ally in this battle, providing        a clear pathway forward.
