Obesity: the new normal? Or are we collectively looking away?

Obesity: the new normal? Or are we collectively looking away?

In 1981, 5% of Dutch adults had obesity. By 2023, that figure was 16%. More than a threefold increase.

Even more shocking: more than half of adults are overweight. And obesity clearly increases the risk of at least 12 types of cancer.

We know this. For years. Yet the numbers continue to rise every year.

Why?
Why is effective policy lacking?
Why are we as a society so silent while health costs explode and quality of life plummets?

Obesity is no longer an individual problem. It is a societal crisis.

What needs to change? And who should initiate that? I, you, or we?
