Avoidance of obesity is a personal responsibility | Bay State Banner | Serving the African American communities of Greater Boston since 1965

Avoidance of obesity is a personal responsibility | Bay State Banner | Serving the African American communities of Greater Boston since 1965: While it is true that some people can eat a meager diet of fruit and vegetables and still put on weight, that is not what normally happens. A lack of exercise and little dietary discipline conspire to cause people to graduate to the next clothes sizes.

The consequences of obesity are severe: heart disease, diabetes and an early death. No policy on obesity should induce people to lose sight of the fact that they are personally responsible for their good health by adhering to sound lifestyle practices.
