The Cost of Obesity | Checks & Balances
India’s obesity crisis has emerged as one of the country’s most pressing public health challenges, driven by a complex interplay of biological vulnerability, changing food environments, sedentary lifestyles, and the rapid expansion of ultra-processed foods. Leading experts from medicine, nutrition, public health, and food journalism increasingly view obesity not as a matter of individual willpower, but as a multifaceted metabolic, nutritional, and societal issue with far-reaching consequences. Their perspectives highlight the urgent need for evidence-based policies, healthier food systems, behavioural change, and coordinated action to address the growing burden of obesity and its associated diseases across all age groups in India.
