ollie89 10/24/17 10:07:26 PM #1:	Obesity rates in the U.S. have hit a new high, and public health experts are renewing calls for an aggressive shift in strategy one that would change the food environment through initiatives such as soda taxes, rather than just focusing on behavior. Nearly four out of 10 U.S. adults were considered obese in 2015-2016, a 30% increase from 1999-2000, according to recent research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics. The individual choice model for obesity prevention is not working, said Sara Benjamin Neelon, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and director of the Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion. Traditionally, public health efforts have centered on communicating messages about what is healthy in the hopes of changing people's behavior, Neelon said. But just telling people how to eat better does not equal behavior change. That's part of the problem." "It is a concern to see such a high prevalence of obesity," said Craig Hales, the studys lead researcher and a medical epidemiologist at the CDC. Obesity is a risk factor for health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some cancers, he said. --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:889084390] in Health Exp...

Just fucks everyone who has any sense of self control. Politicians aren't usually the smartest people either, and usually get behind something to look productive for re-election. Most of them are old and look like shit too. They shouldn't be deciding what food is healthy and what isn't and taxing it. Should make health insurance premiums sky high for obese people.
