"Health problems more prevalent if you're overweight"

Abstract

"We use it to celebrate. We turn to it for comfort. For many of us, food is much more than fuel for the body. It's an integral part of our emotional life. Unfortunately, too many of us are making unhealthy food choices, and we're doing it too frequently. That factor, along with sedentary lifestyles and bigger food portions, are combining to create an epidemic of obesity in this country."
