Welcome to the blog!
The motivation for this blog comes from all the articles that I read about obesity into various newspapers and magazines. Television is also full of programs that discuss obesity topics.
Obesity is fast becoming a worldwide health problem. Adults, adolescents and children all over the world are getting more and more obese.
Governments are desperately trying to contain the enormous costs that are related to obesity.
On the other hand, information technologies, particularly Internet, are also becoming increasingly prevalent among the general population. Some authors even consider information technologies as a cause of obesity.
Internet nevertheless remains a very powerful tool that can be harnessed to fight obesity. It can provide information about :
- obesity in general
- products and services that can prevent or combat obesity
- information technologies that can themselves be used against obesity
I gladly welcome all comments and posts related to this blog.
Thank you!

i'd argue the internet produces obesity!!
instead of going for a walk, being active one can just sit on their round ass and do many things from the the comfort of their chair!
Hell you can even order pizza online. McDonald's even offers Wi-Fi now.

Dear Irish,
Internet is certainly some part of the problem, as mentioned in the original post.
It can however be rightly used to notably:
>provide information about the problem
>connect people interested by the problem
>provide support (treatment therapy) to those concerned by the problem
I will start to provide relevant information in the days that follow...
Keep posted, and thank you for your comment!
Jean-Francois.
