This internet article aims to explain and enlighten Americans about the national principles of physical exercise and nutrition. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2017 collection, analysis, and presentation of data are described in the article. According to the findings, both children and adults in America appear to have a negative view of physical activity. Two-thirds of youngsters do not engage in regular physical activity, whilst just 5% of adults are dedicated to daily physical activity. On the other side, it is said that Americans have bad eating habits.

The psychological literature is briefly reviewed by Ridder et al. (2017) to explain the impact of diet on harmful habits and lifestyles, just like Burton and his contemporaries did. The latter researchers discover that many people have incomplete and inaccurate knowledge about food and nutrition. The authors begin by defining healthy diets and presenting the essential elements of the suggested healthy diet. Additionally, the academics question the public's broad assumptions about food. The researchers claim that despite the public's access to much information on nutrition and health, many people do not adopt healthy eating practices and end up with chronic illnesses and conditions related to nutrition.

The obesity prevention debate's prominence in Canada's government agenda is examined in Phillip Baker's study piece. Examining political speeches for the phrase "obesity," analyzing media and policy literature, and conducting interviews with various stakeholders were all part of the study. The analysis shows that despite obesity's steady rise from the 1980s onward, the government only began to take decisive action in the early 2000s. The strategy included social network marketing campaigns, school activity programs, and voluntary food labelling initiatives.

Shugart, Helene A. Heavy: The obesity crisis in cultural context. Oxford University Press, 2016, pp. 19–33.

The reading explores the various public theories of obesity to assess the lack of success of anti-obesity health programs despite enormous, diverse, and fervent efforts. The majority of the accounts that are currently offered are principally and technically distinct from one another. The lack of data has led to the rejection of theories that link obesity to self-disciplined efforts to limit caloric intake or influence environmental factors.

Thomas, Christopher N., et al. "Overweight and Obesity in Local Media: An Analysis of Media Coverage in CDC-Funded Communities." Preventing Chronic Disease, vol. 14, 2017.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sponsored Christopher et al. to perform a content analysis of news publications and broadcast media in localities between June 2011 and May 2013. In order to control public perceptions of the discourse, the essay suggests contextualizing obesity in the media from an epidemic to a treatable condition. The free press substantially impacts grantees' ability to disseminate information and secure funding for obesity and overweight health campaign initiatives. The researchers concentrated on signifiers, causes and treatments, the targeted population section, and the dictions utilized by writers and newscasters.
