I would like to share an article from Wall Street Journal reporter Allysia Finley regarding the real cause of obesity. Some people always blame calories for everthing, however, scientists recently discovered that chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) might be the ultimate criminals responsible for making us fat. Phthalates are largely used in medical tubing, make-up and PVC piping; and BPA is often can often be found in bottles and food containers.
Weight-loss crazes are as American as apple pie—make that Slim Fast shakes. But despite our countless diet fads, the obesity rate has more than doubled in the last 30 years. Perhaps that’s because Americans haven’t tried “The New American Diet,” which promises to reveal “why your weight isn’t your fault” and reverse “the obesogen effect.” Haven’t heard of the “obesogen effect”? You will soon enough.
As authors of “The New American Diet,” Stephen Perrine and Heather Hurlock are among a growing number of health gurus who blame America’s ballooning on “obesogenic” foods that masquerade as healthy. They don’t mean reduced-sugar Cocoa Puffs. Fruits, chicken breasts, canned vegetables, milk and other seemingly wholesome foods, they claim, contain insidious “obesogenic” pesticides and plastics that alter hormones and cause our bodies to store more fat. Their weight-loss secret? Eat organic “obesogen-free” food.

Here is a blog post written by Katie Loud from http://zeldalily.com/, discussing the recent attacks on McDonald’s for contributing to an increase in childhood obesity. Loud, a mother of two, believes McDonald’s is not to blame and that there should be more parental responsibility. She shares her experience of making food choices for her children and admits she occasionally allows them to have a Happy Meal.
Loud strongly believes that less focus should be placed on fast food chains and more on increasing physical activity of children. “You know, I can’t help but feel that the focus is on the path of least resistance here. It’s a lot easier to point the finger at Mickey D’s or BK for foisting junk food on our children, but I very strongly believe that the bigger emphasis should be on increasing physical activity,” Loud said.
McDonald’s Happy Meals Being Blamed for Increase in Childhood Obesity, Have Some Parents Very Unhappy
I’m the first to admit that the trip to McDonald’s for a Happy Meal has been a not uncommon experience for both of my daughters. I’m very well aware that they are not the most nutritionally sound dinner options, but once in a while the little flimsy cardboard box containing McNuggets, fries, and a toy is just the way to go. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, however, is coming down hard on Happy Meals, taking the fast food giant to task for “predatory marketing practices” by using cheap plastic toys to get kids eating fatty junk.
California’s Santa Clara County has already taken the first step, actually banning toys from the Happy Meal package. This is in the name of combating childhood obesity, a cause that First Lady Michelle Obama has faced head on. As an increase in obesity rates continue, the fast food industry is facing growing pressure.

Here is a Green Bay Press-Gazette article written by Kelly McBride about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that call for an hour of daily activity for children and adolescents. This article is a part of the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s efforts to explore the components of childhood obesity one-by-one as part of the Great
er Green Bay: Where Kids Count community initiative.
The article stresses that getting children moving is an integral part of fighting childhood obesity and that this must start at home. “Activity is a huge piece to this — why we’re seeing the numbers that we’re seeing with the epidemic in this country,” said Michelle Erdmann, team leader of wellness and performance for Bellin Health, adding that change “has to start at home, with strong, active families. That’s a huge piece of it.”
There’s no question that getting kids moving is an integral part of fighting the ongoing national battle against childhood obesity. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines call for an hour of daily activity for children and adolescents, but experts say many kids are falling woefully short of that goal.
Busy lives and TV and computer “screen time” are primary culprits as too many kids get too little exercise. School gym classes and other activities can help, but doctors and health officials say meaningful change needs to begin with parents.

Yahoo! posted our latest press release about a NYPost.com article that accused Friendly’s, a New Jersey restaurant, of contributing to childhood obesity by having high calorie meal options.
Bob Cutler, CEO of Creative Consumer Concepts (C3), suggests there should be more education for parents today. “This should not be a government issue, it should be self-regulated. Parents should have the right to choose what they want their child to eat. When parents are educated about meal choices, they would be less likely to choose meals high in calories for their children,” said Cutler.

Yahoo! posted our latest press release about Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s proposed legislation that would prohibit any company from claiming a tax deduction for expenses derived from kids advertising.
Bob Cutler, CEO of Creative Consumer Concepts (C3), said that the food industry is getting singled out. “We are all for the common sense approach as long as it does not restrict free choice and embraces the idea that consumers are intelligent and capable of teaching children how to live a healthy, balanced life. Kucinich and the government should not be given the power to restrict our right to choose what we want,” said Cutler.

Here is an article from The Center for Consumer Freedom about Kelly Brownell, CSPI’s advisory board member and Yale’s resident food-policy and obesity blowhard, pushing for more government involvement to help lower obesity rates.
Big Government Doesn’t Mean Smaller Waistlines 
Kelly Brownell, Yale’s resident food-policy and obesity blowhard, is once again using the opinion page of the Hartford Courant to score some points in favor of wildly unpopular and ineffective soda taxes and other food legislation. In Brownell’s newest version of the same old tune, he insists that government, not individuals, should play the biggest role in slimming everyone down:
Governments around the country and in Washington are considering public policies to create a better nutrition environment in schools, require honest claims on food packages, restrict food marketing directed at children and even — the most controversial proposal of all — a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. Connecticut has much to be proud of, including the strongest school nutrition legislation in the country and action by our attorney general to shut down the food industry’s Smart Choices program, which assigned healthy eating labels to foods such as Froot Loops and Cocoa Krispies.
Make no mistake — this debate about personal responsibility and government action is about money. Obesity rates will go down when the country eats less and exercises more. Whether someone exercises is as personal a decision as choosing what to eat.

Here is an article from deathby1000papercuts.com, a worldwide leader in weird news, discussing a health mandate that is hidden in the Stimulus Bill requiring that all health care records contain body mass index (BMI).
NEW MANDATES HIDDEN IN STIMULUS BILL
The Fat Police are coming.
But first, they have to make a list to find out who’s naughty or nice–or overweight.
More rules for the not-so-little-people spring from the Obama agenda as rammed through Congress last year.
Obesity Rating for Every American Must Be Included in Stimulus-Mandated Electronic Health Records, Says HHS
(CNSNews.com) – New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records–that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year–must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity.
The obesity-rating regulation states that every American’s electronic health record must: “Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patient’s height and weight.”

This site will assist in revealing all of the factual information surrounding the problem of obesity.
According to a new whitepaper released by ObesitySolvers, education is an important factor in fighting childhood obesity. “Raising awareness about contributors of obesity is a good step in correcting problem behaviors. Also, parents and caregivers are the first role models for children and need to exercise discipline when eating at home, in restaurants and other public areas.”

ObesitySolvers is posted in Yahoo! Finance about their launch as a response to the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s McDonald’s lawsuit. ObesitySolvers.com is a place for discussion regarding the childhood obesity battle, why we need solutions and why we don’t need more issues about what we choose to eat.
Bob Cutler, CEO of Creative Consumer Concepts (C3), said that in order to fight childhood obesity, the focus needs to be on actual solutions and not on limiting consumer choices. ”While government issued information is beneficial, zealous and selfish legislation that restricts individual choices in restaurants and grocery stores can be counter-productive to the overall consumer,” said Cutler.

Here is an article from greenbaypressgazette.com about how health and fitness should start at homes, not at McDonald’s. Eating fast-food is not the only cause of childhood obesity: lack of exercise, emotional and environmental factors are causes as well.
According to a Harokopio University study, children are more than 2.4 times likely to be overweight if they have obese parents, which can cause lifelong struggles.
The fight to solve obesity needs to start with parents and communities by choosing healthier meal choices and increase physical activity at home and school. It is ultimately the public and consumers who should decide what their meal options are not CSPI.
An advocacy group’s threat to sue McDonald’s over Happy Meal toys can further the dialogue about childhood obesity, but real change around raising healthy kids needs to start at home.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest recently announced its intent to bring suit against the fast-food behemoth unless McDonald’s stops marketing unhealthy food to children through the inclusion of toys in Happy Meals. In a release, the group “urged McDonald’s to stop undermining parents and deceiving children” with inexpensive toys like those from the latest “Shrek” film.
“While Shrek may appear on packaging for low-fat milk and Apple Dippers,” the group states, “when children or parents order Happy Meals they are given French fries 93 percent of the time, and offered soda first 78 percent of the time.”
Whatever numbers one uses, the bottom line is health and fitness habits need to start at home, not in line at the Golden Arches. It’s no secret that a good deal of fast-food fare is fat- and calorie-laden and nutritionally deficient, and that countless experts point to eating on the go as a major contributing factor to the nation’s childhood obesity epidemic.
But we also know eating out is only one piece of an incredibly complex childhood health puzzle that also includes holistic nutrition, exercise, and emotional and environmental factors. Removing a plastic ogre from your child’s lunch can have at best a marginal impact.
We encourage parents to make smart choices when eating out, including when it comes to consumption of fast food and other nutritionally questionable fare. But we also urge them to take a look at their own behaviors and what’s going on at home in terms of eating and exercise.
Research like a 2004 study from Harokopio University in Athens, Greece, bears out that parents matter when it comes to their children’s health. That study found children with one obese parent were almost twice as likely to be overweight than children of normal-weight parents. Children with two obese parents were 2.4 times more likely to be overweight.
