Hopefully a rapid overhaul of how we design the built environment, increasing activity and making active travel the right thing to do. But I think sadly it'll be more about BMI, fat shaming, sweeties at the checkout and where takeaways are located. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/25/public-health-england-calls-for-action-on-obesity-in-covid-19-fight?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Tweet

It's a tough thing to approach, but the built environment and activity has to be part of it. I actually did lose about 30kg a few years ago and I think I have kept that off through keeping active primarily through walking and cycling.
I'm still overweight according to BMI but I would say I am healthy and I bloody love crisps. But I'd love to see a pro-health (not anti-obesity) campaign be focused on active design, like work done by @Sport_England https://www.sportengland.org/how-we-can-help/facilities-and-planning/design-and-cost-guidance/active-design
Improve people's physical health, mental health, make cities and towns more attractive and welcoming, respond to climate emergency and eat crisps

I forgot to add the link to deprivation is huge. The gap in healthy life expectancy between most and least deprived places is stark and has got worse in years of austerity. That's a far bigger public health crisis.
This is a positive step, but frustrating that any moves to invest in cycling infrastructure will be from central government and trials etc https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/26/doctors-to-prescribe-bike-rides-to-tackle-uk-obesity-crisis-amid-coronavirus-risk?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard
And on the 9-12 month healthier you scheme: "People who have completed it have lost an average of 3.6kg, NHS England says" - I'd be interested to know what happened to those people 9-12 Months later. Compared to where they live etc
Mr Motivator knows the score. Be positive and inspire each other... Built environment has a huge role to play! https://twitter.com/MrMotivator/status/1287620266093420545?s=19
Actions around losing weight, calories on menus and labels and adverts on the telly. No actions about physical activity or indeed the built environment. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-obesity-government-strategy
