摘要：
Although 85% of the American public believes that obesity is an "epidemic," great controversy exists what role the government, public policy, and law should play in addressing the problem. This keynote address discusses the philosophical and economic justifications for treating obesity as a public health problem meriting government intervention and explores the possible legal and policy solutions.
