New York has has been at the forefront of the battle of the bulge. Its mayor, Michael Bloomberg, thinks he knows best, and he is rich enough not to care if others disagree. He did encounter vocal opposition when he proposed last summer to ban the sale of giant containers of sugary drinks. Politicians around the world are faced with the same questions as Mr Bloomberg. How can governments get citizens to take in fewer calories and exercise more? Should they even try? In the past governments have concentrated mainly on treating diseases rather than preventing them.

Ageing may be inevitable but obesity can be prevented, and changes in behaviour can make older people healthier.
