The obesity epidemic is the world most common genetic/environmental interaction. Dr. Albert Stunkard study on adopted twins and obesity proves genes determine BMI for INDIVIDUALS. Dr. Richard Pratley's study of Type 2 Diabetes in Pima Indians says enviromental factors play a huge role in obesity in POPULATIONS. Geoffrey Rose stated populations are not like individuals but they do intersect. <br />Michelle Obama is taking the standard model of health promotion and glamorizing it for media attention. Population based prevention has a very limited effect and can't fight a genetic environmental interactions effectively without massive changes in environment and behavior. People can't make choices they don't fully understand. The President and First Lady both KNOW the link between our environment and genes is the science of epigenetics. It can't be anything else. What triggers and suppresses gene expression? Chemistry. Diet. chemicals like BpA? Sugar! Insulin? Stress hormones like cortisol? <br />Once the public and GOP get wind of genomic and scientific revolution about to slam into thirty years of bad policy it is all out ideological war that might determine the fate of billions of people. Socioeconomic status is the single biggest determinant of health. With food shortages utilitarian choices might have to be made. Chuck Grassley said it best "We are nine meals away from revolution" and "We need to get rid of fat people." <br />Sarah Palin's death panels might a reality if we don't face childhood obesity with informed choices. We are looking down the barrel of two guns called obesity and famine. I don't belief we are a democracy anymore because nobody has told the public about the science of obesity or the dilemmas it will cause. Silence means natural selection for millions of people. What has if someone knows you are eating rat poison and doesn't tell you to stop? Multipy up obesity's transgenerational response (the see the Overkalix census studies on nutrition and longevity) then tell me silence is good for the economy and pro-life. I have left several research threads in this blog. I double dog anyone to pull up the Overkalix census studies, Pratley and Stunkard papers and disagree with me. I have the Broad St. for obesity in my hands and can't politically get anyone to act. If John Snow had faced the same bureaucratic b.s. in 1856 London would have been a dead zone. Please pull on the research threads. I don't want credit just action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32192549.post-35600390402588877882010-03-30T06:32:24.786-07:002010-03-30T06:32:24.786-07:00Congress needs to stop subsidizing corn and soybea...Congress needs to stop subsidizing corn and soybean.

Weight gain typically comes at the end of a process that has damaged the way the body is functioning. Not enough nutrients, too many calories, too much of certain chemicals, and lack of physical activity combine to cause physiological change of which disequilibrium in body composition is only one.<br /><br />People can lose weight without truly healing the physiology, and setting the body on the right course may take a while to manifest in cosmetically desired weight loss.Barbara Ruth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799097040002221934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32192549.post-80145048526081072892010-03-18T09:06:16.564-07:002010-03-18T09:06:16.564-07:00I think we all have something to learn from Canada...I think we all have something to learn from Canada's graphic label warnings on cigarette packaging! If we can't regulate we should be able to educate.<br /><br />We put warning labels on toys, cleaning agents, medicines, movies and even get a color warning before we board a plane. If we can get Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign off the ground... it would have to start with a true education of what long term over consumption of sugar, fats and salts are doing to our children! Big Food will always be engaged in our school foods and industrial food system.Second Cloud On The Left Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425510160592979481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32192549.post-5689081387956143722010-03-17T07:59:07.484-07:002010-03-17T07:59:07.484-07:00Love how your posts are packed with information.

Who will then absorb the huge corn overproduction ? I find it hard to convince my son's schools director to switch off the cans and go to fresh ingredients while this is the way she eats and it becomes a personal issue then. It is like using drugs. I has to be something you force people to do until they like it and see the benefits and then do it on their own.sandrine F.

I fear that the Obama Administration (and Washington DC in general) are hopelessly linked to policies that do not interfere with profits (which go to shareholders after all).<br /><br />Just as Obama's answer to single payer or Medicare for All turned into a minor tinkering with the present system, "Let's Move" will turn into some minor modifications in school lunches and more phony packaging claims by the food industry.<br /><br />I hate to be so gloomy, but the profit motive is so built-in to our culture by now, that any attempt to curb it is seen as treason.Anthronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32192549.post-8333816898738158062010-03-14T15:07:51.609-07:002010-03-14T15:07:51.609-07:00Excellent Post.

A partial list of industries that stand to lose if people actually begin to eat right, stop gaining weight and stop getting sick -<br /><br /> * Junk food manufacturers (over 100 billion dollars in annual revenues)<br /> * Weight Loss (tens of billions of dollars)<br /> * Supplements (tens of billions)<br /> * Healthcare (over 100 billion dollars annually in obesity related treatments)<br /> * Fast food establishments (over 300 billion dollars)<br /><br />Not even the first lady can stand up to these numbers. Doubtful if the president can.<br /><br />http://www.fooducate.com/blog/2010/01/21/why-michelle-obamas-initiative-to-reduce-childhood-obesity-will-fail/Hemi Weingarten (Fooducate)http://www.fooducate.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
