The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children.

Obesity affects every aspect of a people's lives, from health to relationships.

Hunger and malnutrition have devastating consequences for children and have been linked to low birth weight and birth defects, obesity, mental and physical health problems, and poorer educational outcomes.

Each and every one of us has unknowingly played a part in the obesity problem.

The causes of obesity are varied and complex, but the lack of daily physical activity is an important factor.

Obesity is a problem that nearly every nation in the world is facing, but there is much that we can do to fix it.

Paradoxically Americans are becoming both more obese and more nutrient deficient at the same time. Obese children eating processed foods are nutrient depleted and increasingly get scurvy and rickets, diseases we thought were left behind in the 19th and 20th centuries.

There are so many factors to lead to a child becoming obese.

Obesity is awesome from a Wall Street perspective. It's not just one disease - there are all sorts of related diseases to profit from.

As an anti-hunger advocate, I found the perplexity of the obesity problem and the hunger problem existing side-by-side in our increasingly global food system begged further investigation.
