Add to ORKGThesis advisor: Joseph QuinnThe obesity epidemic is highly prevalent, growing and costly to the American public. The burden of obesity-related healthcare and productivity costs fall on employers, the government and the public at large, making it a cause of concern for all. Processed foods have received much of the blame for rising obesity rates in the United States, creating an "organic revolution." However, fast food giants still dominate the market. Changes such as mandated calorie labeling on menus and fat taxes have been attempted, but obesity rates are still growing. Policy action to successfully reduce and prevent obesity must target food environments, influence individual behavior, and support health services.Thesis (BA) — Boston Col...
