Can obesity be prevented?

Article Abstract:

Overcoming obesity should become a national priority in North America and affluent Western countries. Many children and adults chronically take in more calories than they expend, an easily reversible trend. Recommended actions include establishing regular meals, drinking water, keeping fat intake to 30% or less, walking, having regular sport activities eliminating snacks and reducing TV time. Massive public health efforts are needed to change the comfortable life style and excessive consumption.
