Abstract
Obesity is now recognised as a growing Public Health epidemic. National Health Service (NHS) costs attributable to overweight and obesity are projected to reach £9.7 billion by 2050 in the UK, with wider costs to society estimated to reach £49.9 billion per year. It is now well recognised that being overweight or obese will soon be the leading cause of premature death and disease in the UK. The involvement of more fast food premises and sampling a wider range of fast foods will enhance the opportunity to develop healthier cooking interventions.
