Obesity and National Security
July 11, 201212:06 pm
There was a very interesting segment this week on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. Weight Watchers President and CEO David Kirchhoff (above, at left), a Healthcare Leadership Council member, joined retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral James Barnett for a discussion on obesity and the military. It’s an aspect of the nation’s obesity problem that hasn’t received enough attention.
As Kirchhoff put it on the program, we’re seeing a “convergence of childhood obesity and military readiness.” One of every four young adults, aged 17-24, is too overweight to meet the standards for joining the armed forces, thus depleting the pool of young men and women needed to keep our military at full readiness. This is a problem, as Kirchhoff put it, that affects the military but has its roots deeper in our society, specifically in the way parents encourage personal responsibility and healthy behaviors in their children.
A video of the “Morning Joe” segment can be found below.
David Kirchhoff is also author of the new book, Weight Loss Boss: How to Finally Win at Losing – and Take Charge in an Out-of-Control Food World.
