Guess what’s bothering people of the U.S. the most these days. Yes, you’re right, it’s obesity. The same fact has been dug out by a nationwide telephone survey. Here are few but important issues that came out smeared with people’s concern.
27 percent of the respondents said that obesity was the top helath issue for children.
According to 52 percent respondents society should come forward to solve obesity problem among kids.
Conversely, 46 percent believed that obesity is a private issue that people should solve on their own.
84 percent people said that it is important to invest in public health and prevention programs to lower obesity rates in the country.
68 percent said that elementary school children should participate in physical education classes.
Through this survey it can definitely be said that in the recent years people have started understanding the gravity behind the obesity epidemic. At the same time, people have come forward to accept that rise in obesity is ultimately going to cause serious problems for them and for their nation as well. However, earlier, a big percentage of people in the U.S. had adopted a very lackadaisical attitude about obesity.
No doubt, rise in obesity cases has mounted desperately in the recent years but we should not forget that people awareness about the bad implications of obesity has also been augmented and this awareness should be taken as a tool to fight away growing obesity in the U.S.
