Why We Believe
Obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States, and by 2030, nearly half of the population will be clinically obese. Society tells us that if we eat less and exercise more, we’ll lose weight and enjoy a better quality of life, but when we don’t find success, we’re shamed for our lack of willpower. In reality, it’s not that simple; medical research reveals a wide range of biological, psychological and environmental factors play a role in weight loss. Obesity is a disease, not a decision, and it needs to be treated like one.
