but we would like junk food
WASHINGTON - We all know obesity is a health crisis, or every year wouldn't begin with resolutions to eat better and obtain from the couch. Such as the try taking away our unhealthy foods.
Americans blame too much screen time and cheap junk food for fueling the country's fat epidemic, a poll finds, however they are split on how much the government should do to help.
Most draw the road at policies that will try to force healthier eating by limiting food choices,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the poll through the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
A third of people the government ought to be deeply involved with finding methods to curb obesity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while a similar proportion would like it to play little if any role. The rest are somewhere in the middle.
Require more physical activity in class, or provide nutritional guidelines to help individuals make smarter choices? Sure, 8 in 10 support those steps. Make restaurants post calorie counts on the menus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the Fda is poised to do? Some 70 % think it's a good idea.
"That's a start," said Khadijah Al-Amin, 52, of Coatesville, Pa. "The fat content ought to be put up there in red letters, not only set up there. Exactly the same way they mark something that's poisonous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then when the thing is it, you will know."
But nearly 6 in 10 people surveyed oppose taxes targeting unhealthy foods, referred to as soda taxes or fat taxes.
And when you are looking at restricting what individuals can buy like Ny City's recent ban of supersized sodas in restaurants three-quarters say no way.
"The outlawing of sugary drinks, that's just silly," said Keith Donner, 52, of Miami,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who prefers teaching schoolchildren to consume better and get moving.
"People must take a look at a Big Gulp and say, `That's not for me personally.' I think it starts when they are young and at school,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he added.
Indeed, while three-quarters of Americans consider obesity a significant health problem for the nation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most of those surveyed say dealing with it is up to individuals. Just a third consider obesity a community problem that governments, schools, health care providers and also the food industry ought to be involved in. children and teens and two-thirds of adults are either overweight or obese. Today, restaurants dot more street corners and malls, regular-sized portions are larger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a fast-food meal can be cheaper than healthier fare. Not to mention electronic distractions that a little more people surveyed blamed for obesity than junk food.
In the current environment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's difficult to exercise that personal responsibility, said Jeff Levi from the nonprofit Trust for America's Health,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that has closely tracked the rise in obesity.
"We need to create environments where the healthy choice becomes the simple choice, where it's possible for people to bear that responsibility," he said.
The new poll suggests women, who have major input on which a household eats, recognize those societal and community difficulties more than males do.
Over fifty percent of women say the very high cost healthy food is a major driver of obesity, compared with just 37 percent in men. Women also are much more likely than men at fault cheap junk food and to say that the food industry should bear a lot of responsibility for helping to find solutions.
Patricia Wilson, 53, of rural Speedwell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tenn.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says she must drive 45 minutes to achieve a supermarket passing numerous burger and pizza joints, with increased arriving every year.
"They really should not be letting each one of these fast-food places increase," said Wilson, who nags her children and grandchildren to eat at home and watch their calories. She recalls how her own overweight grandmother lost both her legs after which her life to diabetes.
More than 80 percent of people within the AP-NORC poll said they'd easy access to supermarkets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but just as many could easily get fast food. Another 68 percent said hello was simple for kids to purchase unhealthy foods enroute to college, potentially foiling diet-conscious caregivers like Wilson, who doesn't allow her grandchildren to consume unhealthy snacks in your own home.
"If they are saying they're hungry, they get regular food," she said.
Meals are only area of the obesity equation; exercise is key too. About 7 in 10 people said hello was easy to find sidewalks or paths for jogging,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], walking or bike-riding. But 63 percent thought it was hard to run errands or circumvent without a car, reinforcing an inactive lifestyle.
James Gambrell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 27, of Springfield, Ore., said he pays particular focus on diet and exercise because obesity runs in the family. He makes a point of walking to stores and running errands on foot 2 to 3 times per week.
But Gambrell, a fast-food cashier, said he eats out at least one time each day due to the convenience and has changed his order at restaurants that curently have begun posting calorie counts. He's all for that government pushing those kinds of solutions.
"I feel that it is a part of the government's responsibility to care for its citizens and as such should make an effort to set regulations for restaurants which are possibly damaging to its citizens," he said.
On the other hand is Pamela Dupuis, 60, of Aurora, Colo., who said she has struggled with weight and it has been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. She doesn't want the government involved in such things as calorie-counting.
