title: United States accused of sabotaging obesity strategy.
abstract: In early 2004, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services disputed some of the scientific evidence underlying the World Health Organization's proposals for curbing obesity. Critics of the DHHS position suggest that it puts the interests of the junk food industry ahead of people's health.
