WHY AN OBESITY SPECIALITY: | Obesity has reached pandemic proportions in much of the developed world. There is an ever increasing problem in the adolescent and pre-adolescent propulation also. The impact of this pandemic reaches far and with a heavy hand. Excellent research is being done and many answers are emerging. The baratrician makes a study of the literature and tries to impart the needed education to patients who voluntarily consult him or her for help. We do this essentially one on one. What is needed, clearly, is a global educational program sufficient to turn people around. Considering all the factors, including the commercial interests, for now the best we can expect is one on one. In that way we can at least assist those motivated to learn and make permanent behavior changes. |
