Loading...
Uploaded by linktv on Feb 25, 2010
(February 26, 2010) The U.S. isn't the only country with an obesity problem. This week's Global Pulse looks at the tactics being deployed worldwide by nations facing an epidemic of obesity. Looking to combat unwanted effects of our modern era's sedentary lifestyle, countries are harkening back to the salad days with campaigns encouraging exercise for adults and children, and the avoidance of fatty foods. As these broadcasters make clear, tackling the problem of childhood obesity requires parental involvement and better access to healthy food.

The middle class and lower classes tend to be heavier because of the bad world economy. I my self splurge the extra money for organic healthy greens and foods. However I don't have children, and my parents have to decide between paying the bills or eating healthy. That's where the problem is.

it's CHEAP food because it's NOT HEALTHY FOOD. as soon as people keep reading about that, they'll be more conscious of what they eat but if they dont CARE then ya they'll be fat and die quicker. if people dont care about their LIFE then they deserve to die :(

We can't force people to eat healthier! We can't force people to exercise! A person has to WANT to eat healthy and exercise
