A frightening account of an emerging killer, OBESITY.
A more insidious threat has creeped into popular culture, more threatening than terrorism, weapons of mass destruction or viruses, obesity will continue unabated if not given serious priority by government.
With the increasing diabetes rates every year, it’s a worrying trend that will place enormous pressure on the global health care system over the next decade.
Way to much love and not enough exercise will make Bruno the Beagle a beafy bruno.

There is no shortage of papers recommending ways to combat obesity, diabetes and alcohol abuse yet we keep creating these documents.
Go for your life is one such initiative which introduced it’s Strategic Plan for 2006-2010

Secondly these issues need to be co-ordianated at a Federal, State and local level.
Presently some municiplaities are making it harder for people to exercise in the local parks.
