A new report from the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) argues that policies to curb obesity in the U.S. are failing. Last year, according to the report, obesity rates increased in 37 states and decreased in none. In more than half of the states, one-quarter or more of the population is considered obese.

The report makes recommendations about policies to reduce obesity, with a focus on intervening in children’s nutritional environment.
