Obesity is a complex disease process, and we know from experience that a one-size-fits-all approach is not the answer. While prevention is prudent, we must also use a variety of medical strategies to treat the 36 percent of American adults and 17 percent of American children and adolescents who have already developed this multi-metabolic and hormonal disease state.
The provision of effective treatments to those in need will allow us to curb the mounting chronic disease burden and rising health care costs associated with obesity, estimated at $147 billion a year. By acknowledging obesity as a disease, the A.M.A. has taken an important step away from patient blame and toward patient-centered solutions (Stanford, 2013).”
This is not to suggest that diet and exercise should be ignored. The goal of The Campaign to End Obesity is to effect change in lifestyles of a large sector of people. This lifestyle change includes better food choices and increased exercise. The campaign implies that these changes cannot occur by relying on people to make these changes on their own, but believes that “public policies are needed to create the environment for change.” The Let’s Move campaign targets children, but includes parents and caregivers by encouraging them to set good examples and to take the lead. This is an excellent strategy because by approaching the situation this way, it inevitably encourages adults as well. “Let’s Move” also operates on the premise that obesity thrives because people eat more and exercise less than they should.
Thirty or forty years ago, many more children were likely to walk to school. There was mandatory recess and gym class. After school, children did a lot of running and playing outside before and sometimes after dinner. Balanced meals were prepared and eaten at home, without manufactured seasonings and preservatives. Portions were not likely to be super-sized, but rather smaller, more reasonable. This lifestyle is much less common today.
