Nutrition is the most efficient cure for obesity. There are millions of weight-loss products and treatments for obesity, yet the rates of obesity continue to excalate. When you don't treat a problem at it's core, the problem doesn't go away, you are simply treating the symptoms. By helping people lose weight through a pill or an operation, you are simply removing excess weight, while not handling the problem of their unhealthy diet and lifestyle, and their sluggish metabolism. Eating healthy and overall being more active not only helps you lose weight, it also boosts your metabolism and be healthier overall. People don't realize this, and don't achieve this because of their lack of information. People are very ill informed in the United States, and they fall prey to many false advertisements and fake promises. With nutrition classes, people would be ready to handle all these problems on their own, and if they choose not to, at least they would have the knowledge in case they decided to in the future.
