Obesity has been identified as one of the top public health crises facing Americans today because
it is increases the risk of other serious medical conditions such as: high cholesterol, hypertension,
sleep apnea, adult onset diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and depression. In an effort to curb adult
obesity, many agencies have turned their attention to childhood obesity. In 2012, the government
passed legislation to further regulate the nutritional value of foods offered in the school cafeteria
and for school fundraising. Do you believe the government has a role in managing the obesity
crisis? If yes, why? If no, who should be responsible for managing the populations weight gain
and why?
