At the conference I was just at, we heard a lot about all the different systemic problems people are having due to obesity. It's affecting a lot of children now, too. The speaker addressed a LOT of different medications that were wonderful to counteract the heart disease, high cholesterol, etc but as I sat there, I was thinking...wouldn't it just be better if we spent more money on prevention instead of letting people eat what they are eating now and then 'cleaning up' after them? I believe it was someone in Pediatrics that coined the phrase 'diabesity' to show that many of the Type II diabetics (those in children also) was because of being obese. So....how about another double cheeseburger from McDonalds?
