TOPEKA, Kan.   -  Kansas health officials and policymakers gathered in Topeka Thursday.  They learned that no single strategy will reduce obesity in the state and everyone will need to help make changes.

     A past director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's division of nutrition, physical activity and obesity says several strategies in multiple settings will help the United States reverse its obesity epidemic.
     More than 200 people were invited to the summit.
