You have been selected to chair a national campaign on reducing adult obesity in the United States. What other professionals would you want on your team?

What recommendations to
reduce obesity would you and your team make? What strategies would you suggest to
overcome resistance to your recommendations and to increase success?

Responses will vary. Other professionals should include physicians, nutritionists,
and exercise specialists. Recommendations could include incorporating fresh fruits
and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fish, and lean sources of
protein into the diet, along with at least 2 1/2 hours of moderate activity each week.
Other recommendations could include exercising at the workplace, offering
community nutrition and healthy cooking classes, and organizing neighborhood
groups to exercise together.
