Is obesity really a choice? Geneticist Giles Yeo has spent nearly 20 years studying body weight and the brain and his answer might surprise you.
In this eye-opening talk, he unpicks the complex relationship between genes, environment and willpower, using everything from supermarket chocolate displays to freckles to make his case about why we overeat.

Entertaining, accessible and genuinely illuminating, this is essential viewing for anyone who has ever wondered why eating well can feel so hard.
