Question.1000 - According to our textbook and the National Center for Health Statistics 2019 “in 1970, 15% of adult Americans were obese. Current, almost 40% are.” With obesity comes higher risk for certain diseases. We also have many Americans who struggle with body image and experience bias or ridicule about their weight. How can we address the obesity concerns among Americans without shaming individuals? Do we need to have comprehensive systemic changes in a variety levels or is this more about personal choice? Or both? What ideas do you have (and please recognize this is delicate topic for some people)?
