Abstract
The rapid rise in rates of overweight and obesity among adults and
children in Australia and New Zealand has intensified debate about the
most effective policies for obesity prevention. Law has much to
contribute to this policy discussion, although its role is often
misunderstood. The articles in this symposium follow on from a
conference hosted in September 2006 by the Centre for Health
Governance, Law & Ethics in the Faculty of Law, University of Sydney,
titled: Obesity: should there be a law against it? In different ways,
these articles provide a variety of perspectives on regulatory
responses to obesity, including theoretical justifications for a legal
approach, conceptual models that assist in making sense of law's role,
as well as specific legal strategies for obesity prevention in various
settings.
