Weight & Teenagers
Sutherland looked at three large federal
weight and health surveys. Data on weight came from the National Health
and Nutrition Examination Survey, and data on physical activity was from
the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, both maintained by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Data on caloric intake was from the Nationwide
Food Consumption Survey maintained by the Agriculture Department.
The study said that teenagers ate an average
of 2,290 calories a day over the 20 years. It also said that while 42
percent of teens reported doing at least 30 minutes of physical activity
on a typical day at the start of the study, only 29 percent did at the
end.
"I was trained as a nutritionist," Sutherland said. "The
data kept coming out that caloric intake was basically flat, but there
was a huge drive to look at diet. I said, 'Let's look at physical activity."

Obesity and Weight Loss
Obesity is now the "trillion dollar disease". This reflects
the social costs of obesity, in health and lost production, as well as
the weight loss drug profits that might be made for any pharmaceutical
company that finds a drug-cure for obesity. The search for viable weight
loss medications continues, although pharmaceutical weight loss products
still have significant side effects.
