If you have not yet read this study, I would recommend that you take a few minutes to review the highlights (or better yet, read the full study). It is always interesting to get a snapshot of public opinion about important topics such as obesity. I was fascinated about perceptions on both the multi-factorial causes of the obesity epidemic and the dichotomy of thought regarding both accountability and methods to reverse the trend.
I was writing this while watching "The Biggest Loser" where for the first time we heard conversations about the impact of Childhood Obesity. While there is evidence that recognition of the problem has grown, I still feel that we are "challenged" when it comes to finding a series of solutions that will have a broad impact.
What do you think? How are you impacting the health of your friends, family and/or community?
