The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Obesity Education Initiative (OEI) convened a two-day meeting to help develop a national public education outreach initiative to help reduce and prevent overweight and obesity in the United States. This Strategy Development Workshop, held on February 17-18, 2004, convened more that 70 public health leaders, nutritionists and dieticians, food industry experts, health communicators, youth marketing experts, park and recreation officials, and others from professional societies and constituency groups. The Workshop proceedings illuminated the complexity of the factors leading to weight gain; the many environmental and societal influences on the eating and physical activity habits of various population groups; and the community-based strategies that might encourage healthier habits. The objectives of the Workshop were to examine community-based obesity best practices; help determine the unique niche for the new NHLBI Healthy Weight Initiative (HWI); recommend appropriate and effective program strategies and interventions; and identify potential program partners and partnership opportunities. Texts presented at the meeting and contained herein are as follows: (1) Obesity: What are the Challenges, Obstacles, and Strategic Considerations? (Marian Fitzgibbon); (2) The Basic (Care and) Feeding of Homo Sapiens: Are We Truly Clueless About Weight Control? (David L.
