This is a link to a research paper that discusses obesity in the US and the efforts by various organizations "to improve social welfare by implementing a set of prescriptive policies designed to remedy systematic mistakes made by individuals."

I've read very little that reviews government efforts in this area and I found it an eye opening read.

The summary is at the link below and you'll also find a link to download the research paper.
