Obese freight train
May 22, 2012
LEADING nutritional expert, Dr
John Berardi has warned that
obesity and diabetes are “like
freight trains running out of
control”.
"Of course, that's not a fitness
industry thing,” he said.
“Instead, it has everything to do
with the combination of sedentary
labor, few natural opportunities for
exercise and movement, huge
access to high calorie, processed
foods, and a tremendous amount
of personal stress,” he added.
Speaking to reporters in the wake
of a recent fitness convention held
in the UK, Berardi said that rather
than just being an issue of
willpower, and telling people to eat
less and exercise more, the solution
is “about reaching people where
they are at”.
“It's only when we're willing to
reach out beyond fitness club walls
and engage people at home, in
their workplaces, and in the other
places they spend time, that we'll
really have the impact we hope to,”
he said.
