Cutting Calories

Ultimately, if obesity is to be reduced, then fewer calories need to be consumed, but large portion sizes, and the energy density of food, have led to the consumption of too many. As to reduce obesity, many hundreds of calories need to be removed each day from the diet, there is a need for the ready availability of low calorie food items. The possibility is explored of a partnership between government and the food industry that aims to develop low energy dense foods.
