The Obesity Problem in New York State[edit | edit source]

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in New York State and across the nation. While many epidemics can be defeated with a medication or a vaccine, preventing or reversing obesity requires changes in behavior as well as access to affordable, nutritious foods and opportunities for physical activity in the places where people live, learn, eat, shop, work and play.

2nd leading cause of mortality[edit | edit source]

Obesity and overweight are currently the second leading preventable cause of death in the United States and may soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of death.

Failing to win the battle against obesity will mean premature death and disability for an increasingly large segment of New York residents.
