The paper addresses the question of how governments of democratic states might seek to assist their citizens to reverse the serious trend towards overweight and obesity. Recent reports stress the contributory role of the obesogenic environment, characterising contemporary UK society, and suggest that to be effective policy interventions need to be implemented on several fronts. The paper explores the potential of the ethical matrix as both a procedural and a substantive tool in such programmes, focusing on food production, marketing and consumption.
