Obesity is a growing epidemic. We see those suffering from obesity and it’s complications every day. We ask why this is happening and we think the answer is simple, people eat too much and don’t exercise. Yes these do impact obesity but are not always the only causes. Many cases start as a child due to environment and genetics. People also suffer from obesity due to mental disorders such as depression or Down’s syndrome. We need to start overweight prevention in order to tackle the obesity epidemic. Often, exercise, as well as proper meal planning are unobtainable to the average American due to time constraints of busy schedules. By educating Americans on simple and healthy diet alternatives, as well as simple yet effective exercise, we may find a solution. Promoting education over obesity, it’s effects, and prevention will help individuals from getting to an irreversible state of declining health.
