Abstract

Child obesity was described by the World Health Organisation in 1998 as one of the most pressing public health issues of our time that requires an urgent and informed response. Unfortunately, despite much attention and efforts, the juggernaut that is the child obesity epidemic shows no sign of slowing down.
