Seminar "Food for thought: Recipes for healthier lifestyles from the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health"
in Brussels on 20 May 2005 at the EESC
 Europe is currently facing an unprecedented obesity epidemic. Data collected by the International Obesity Task Force show alarming trends in obesity levels, especially among schoolchildren. International organisations and governments have therefore started to take this problem seriously and to involve other key actors in broad and long-term public health strategies.
With this seminar, therefore, EURO COOP intends to add momentum to the current debate at EU-level on better diet and physical exercise. The seminar was the first event of this nature to be organised by a founder-member of the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health launched recently by the European Commission.
The seminar was also an opportunity for EURO COOP member organisations and other key stakeholders to showcase their best practices and progressive policies in obesity-related areas.
