		<description><![CDATA[Everyone's heard of weight loss camps for kids - "fat camp" as they're often called. But would you ever consider sending your child to one? Many parents don't, because they're afraid their child will take it as a criticism: "You're fat, and we're embarrassed, so we're sending you away." But the children who go to weight-loss camps usually love it, and the parents are glad they went.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obesity is a worldwide health problem which is defined as the excess accumulation of body fat. Many people think that it is a state of overweight, but that's not exactly true. Being overweight indicates an excess amount of weight that includes bone, muscle, fat and water. But, obese persons have a surplus of body fat. According to health professionals, a man having over 25% body fat is obese, while a woman is obese if she has more than 30% of fat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a world where media and societal mores hold beauty and fitness to high standards, an overweight person can feel depressed, left out, and suffer low self-worth. Television and fashion magazines bombard us with pictures of reed-thin models and actresses and athletes with washboard abs, glamorizing certain impossible ideals to a point that a normal person is destined to feel inadequate. One can imagine how an overweight or morbidly obese person must feel to be exposed to this environment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is such a media buzz being created around the swine flu and SARS in America that is creating fear. Imagine this front-page news story: "SARS epidemic infects 60 million Americans with economic losses exceeding $1 trillion. In response, the government announces a massive public health campaign, industry pledges full cooperation regardless of cost, and school districts agree to take all necessary measures" (The Boston Globe, May 29, 2003).  Fortunately, SARS has not reached these proportions... but obesity has. Obesity in adults and children has reached epidemic proportions and people are dying from it everyday. The prevalence of obesity is a national epidemic and fast becoming America's most significant public health issue and yet we don't see the government coming up with vaccines or a plan to put a stop to it.  I wonder why?]]></description>
