The article discusses the alarming rise in obesity rates, projecting that one billion people will be overweight by 2030, a significant increase from 2010. It emphasizes that this epidemic is not solely the result of personal choices or dietary habits but is significantly influenced by deep-rooted social inequalities, aggressive marketing by the food industry, and systemic barriers that hinder healthy lifestyle choices. Stefanie Dekker, along with expert guests, explores these factors contributing to the obesity crisis.
