Obesity is more than just a personal health issue or lifestyle - TopicsExpress



          

Obesity is more than just a personal health issue or lifestyle choice, Frisvold says. Given the impact on our health care system, with costs at $257 billion per year and rising, it’s clear there is a role for public policy in combatting this epidemic. We need to ensure that the policies we enact will actually address the underlying causes of obesity. David Frisvold, assistant professor of economics and researcher in PPCs Social Science Policy program, will be sharing insight on strategies to improve public health through policies addressing root causes of obesity on Wednesday, November, at noon in the Iowa Theater, Iowa Memorial Union. This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. RSVP online. ow.ly/DzyiF
