We have an obesity epidemic.

8/24/2011

Sure, over 66% of Americans are overweight or obese. We've heard this CDC stat over and over again. I mention it in my presentations. 

However ... I ask: "What's the cause and what's the effect"?

My answer: The American diet is a catastrophe. We have a food crisis. It's the food that causes the obesity epidemic which causes the disease crisis that we have. Concentrate on food, not obesity.

Meet the Director of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity

Kelly Brownell is the main force behind a soda tax ... because it causes obesity. He is well-respected and quoted in many articles about diet, health, lifestyle, obesity, and obesity-related public policy. 

I'm just wondering why he is morbidly obese? These pictures are of Brownell speaking at an obesity conference in Colorado. If he has a health issue that causes this, he should explain. I've never seen or heard an explanation.

As a health advocate, I do not believe I could sit through one of his speeches. Via speeches and my book, I dole out diet, health, and lifestyle advice. If I was overweight, in good faith, I would not provide any advice. I practice what I preach. After all, would you purchase a house from a builder who lived in an poorly built home? Not me.

By the way, he does conduct some very good interviews (podcasts) at the Yale Rudd Center website.

Here's a recent  interview with Kelly Brownell:

    That's a Bunch 
    of B.S.


    For many people, losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle is difficult. Much of the advice is a misdirection and a bunch of B.S. 

    This blog has been set up to dispel the misinformation and myths that many of us believe. My favorite: Eat Less, Exercise More. There are so many that it's comical. As I see them, I'll dispel 'em! 

    If you've seen one on the Net, let me know. I will dispel it!
