1/4🏋🏻‍♀️"Just go exercise and eat healthily!". Sound familiar? Of course! It is the magic solution for obesity, worldwide!
👨🏻‍⚕️Awesome! So, how was the result? -silence- After decades of 'eat less move more' (ELMM), no decreasing prevalence or 'flattening of the curve' in obesity.
2/4 If anyone plan to repeat the same strategy to manage the obesity pandemic, here is a quote I like to give them: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"- unknown source (not Albert Einstein).
3/4 ELMM is just a small part of obesity's story. Look at the ROOTS listed in the poster. The 'calorie in, calorie out' solution looks negligible as compared to the whole ROOTS of obesity! They are thick, deep and interconnected, just like how tree roots are.
4/4 Do you still think that the solution to obesity is simple? Think twice!
