This bulletin, originally a chapter in the 1969 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, presents an overview in layman's terms what is known and is not known about the causes and correction of obesity. Initially, the authors establish the premise that there are sound health reasons for a concern about weight reduction. A brief explanation of energy requirements is given emphasizing that exercise and food intake are the factors which can be controlled. One section is devoted specifically to heredity and overweight. A key point is that overweight and overfatness may not be the same thing. Incomplete knowledge of the relevant facts involved in weight reduction, the deep-rooted character of food habits, and lack of recognition of the complexity of food needs are discussed as contributing factors to problems encountered in weight reduct,ion. Factors are mentioned which are involved in specific overweight problems in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

These "perspectives"are presented in a very readable manner and could be
