Obesity is a multifaceted issue that our society is dealing with and it is never discussed. Whatever proposals there are to bring down the obesity levels seem to be all talk with zero action & hypothetical scenarios to simply educate people on obesity rather than directly addressing the root causes of a diet lacking nutrients and the availability of nutrient dense food to certain populations. I could not even find any updated information so who knows the levels at which American adults are obese in 2024, not to mention the prevalence of childhood obesity… this is actually insane! What is actually being done to prevent this 100% preventable disease that is silently killing Americans. As a public health graduate and nutrition advocate and coach this is actually mind boggling that as a society we’ve been let down so hard & there is nothing being done to address this public health threat. 40+ states in the US where a minimum of 35% of the adult population is obese #obesityepidemic #americansareobese #publichealththreat #obesityispreventable #publichealthscience
