In Sabrina Tavernise's article "Obesity in young is seen as falling in serveral cities" she talks on obesity and how is decreasing slowly and what is the cause of this. Sabrina Tavernise talks on why  is decreasing even if its moving slowly. Tavernise says Though obesity is now part of the national conversation, with aggressive advertising campaigns in major cities and a push by Michelle Obama, many scientists think that obesity programs actually work." This shows that there is starting to be some belief in decreasing of obesity and people are helping to make this happen and the outcome is very successful. Sabrina also talks on how there are only certain cities who have had obesity decreased."New York and Los Angeles, as well as smaller places like Anchorage, Alaska, and Kearney, Neb. The state of Mississippi has also registered a drop, but only among white students. " This shows that obesity is dropping in few places but majority of the children are white. I think the government should just give up trying to prevent obesity because you need two to tango and the government id dancing with a partner with two left feet. The U.S. is already over populated and by people not caring about their health the population will eventually, slowly but progressively, decrease.
