Obesity.
The world is getting wider.
Media Influences
The media (McDonalds commercials, fast food commercials) venerate unhealthier food choices, as well as more of them with a veritably nonstop barrage of unhealthy advertisement for unhealthy foods.
Interpersonal Communication
Communicating the health problems that obesity can cause with those who are overweight can lead to a healthier lifestyle, as well as positive peer pressure may lead to better health choices.
Immediate & Long Term Consequences
-Arthritis -Diabetes -Heart disease -High blood pressure -Sleep apnea -Some cancers -Stroke Obesity has been medically linked to all of these symptoms. This is naturally a bad thing as 96,280,120 in the U.S.A. alone are obese (as of 2003).
Good News Everybody!
There have been medical advances in weight loss techniques, and liposuction.
