OBESITY IN AMERICA
THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC
WHAT IS OBESITY?
 Obesity is a medical
condition in which
excess body fat has
accumulated to the
extent that it may have
an adverse effect on
health, leading to
reduced life expectancy
and/or increased health
problems.
HOW MANY
 72 million Americans
are obese (2/3 of
America)
 1 in 4 people are
obese.
 The numbers are
rapidly increasing.
THE IMPACT
 It is affecting our kids.
 Obesity has lead to
numerous health problems.
(diabetes, cholesterol,
death, disability, heart
disease, forms of cancer,
chronic health problems)
 U.S National Institutes of
Health spends over $120
billion each year relating the
treatment of obesity
 Obesity= 300,000+ deaths
yearly
WHY HAS IT GONE THIS FAR?
 Life Style Choices: stress,
lack of self awareness, little
devotion, or lack of
education can lead to stress
hormones that are
dangerous to health,
overindulging in food, and
lack of physical activity.
 Hereditary obesity: caused
from parents, do to their
eating habits and lifestyle.
McDONALD’S AND OBESITY
 12,804 McDonald’s in America
 Corporations are tricking their
customers into eating this life-
threatening food, just so they
can make a profit.
 “Companies have encouraged
overeating and under-
exercising with their
aggressive advertising, and
large portion sizes.”
 Many restaurants including
McDonald’s are in progress of
making a big change
 fast food companies impact on
obesity means their help is
required to achieve prevention
SCHOOLS AND OBESITY
 “Schools have a lot to do with the influence on what kids eat/
so they could be very powerful in fighting obesity”
 What the schools serve, and what their peers eat around
them, could have a much bigger influence on what they eat at
home
 If Corporations made the switch to healthier food, that could
be bigger profit for them since many schools are trying to
become healthier
 “Many school systems are eliminating required physical
education.” If healthy food in schools is increasing, why
should that be a reason for physical activity to decrease?
PREVENTION
 Make people aware
about the issue
 Be responsible about
your own health
 Make good choices
about diet and exercise
 Set a good example to
others, it will impact
them which will impact
many more
THERE ARE 72 MILLION
AMERICANS OBESE. IT’S TIME
TO MAKE A CHANGE.
