The National Programme of Public Health 2003-2012 in which he expressed, among several other objectives, its desire to reduce the number of Quebecers-es obese, and that his intention to promote physical activity and improve the quality of the menus offered in school cafeterias.
The media tell us about an "epidemic" of obesity, both among youth than adults, an "epidemic" of diabetes that is one of the effects of this "crisis of weight" in which we live. Unfortunately, few people talk about the causes of this "epidemic" and most of the gains excessive weight. At least to reflect on the causes and demand political changes, we will continue to harm us feed and gain weight. In fact, it must be combated, the political power and public health programme responsible for the rise in obesity within the population.
A wave of obesity that relates
As to speak of "obesity," talking box that distributes McDonald on the occasion of Halloween. Let us also the support of Nestle, a company distributing powdered milk, the corporation paediatricians, which recommends breastfeeding. As to speak of "obesity," consider contracts "exclusive" between schools and agro-food companies, and the consequences for the poorest-es of the concentration of production, distribution and sale of products food. In the same perspective, consider the relationship between the distribution of shops in urban areas and consumption of fruits and vegetables; the relationship between resources neighbourhood and physical exercise.Contrary to what the traditional speech on the subject, the "problem of obesity" does not have a choice (of food) individual, or the lack of will or knowledge of a healthy diet. They are the food policies that prevent some people to buy and eat healthy foods and adopting appropriate eating habits.
Many studies have demonstrated the link between diet and health, diet and weight. But all campaigns, which have prompted consumers to change their behaviour, have ignored the real capacity of people to adopt the measures recommended, as well as their living conditions and neighborhoods they inhabit, factors that influence the ability to act. Research has shown that the more one is poor, the greater are the chances that lives away from stores that sell seasonal fruits and vegetables and less one has the opportunity to follow a balanced diet. |

 The daily Le Journal de Montreal recounts an extensive American study "Feeding infants and toddlers study: What foods are infants and toddlers eating? "Whereby a baby, aged 4 to 24 months, four fries eat once a day. According to the dietitian Quebec, Louise Lambert-Lagace, Quebec is not so remote from its southern neighbours.
The statistical data that emerge from this American study are:
The fries come in third among the most consumed vegetables;
From 20 to 27% of babies are eating hot dogs, sausages and smoked meats before reaching the age of 12 months;
From 18 to 33% of babies not consume any vegetables in one day;
From 23 to 33% of babies not eat any fruit in a day;
70% of babies eat a sweet dessert at least once a day.
Like USA, the problems of childhood obesity are increasing dramatically in most industrialized countries. Contrary to what one might think, the term obese does not just children or adolescents almost unable to move.It does not become obese happen overnight: the child begins to "take the weight of excessive" often very gradually, sothat most of the time, we did not realize it at first.
