Obesity Budget and Rationale
One often things of pandemics as serious diseases that have the potential to change the global culture. Ironically, a 21st century pandemic that has developed globally, moving from the developed to the underdeveloped world is the result of a sedentary lifestyle, high sugar and fat diet (fast foods) and lack of dietary balance. Physicians, scholars and researchers are thus all in agreement that childhood obesity and the surrounding issues it causes is both a consequence of what we eat and drink and our movement indoors and away from activity (Fumento, 1998). Thus, in almost every community it is important to launch and educational campaign to mitigate these circumstances whenever possible (Childhood Obesity, 2006). The county of Springville, IL is the focus of our current educational program and will last 12-18 months. The county shares some major health concerns of poorer communities nationally: high obesity and resultant disease, higher than average Type-II diabetes and large number of fast food restaurants. $95,000
