This is a great article I found on a fellow blogger's page which I follow, Why You Are Never Too Old For Crossfit... It's about how the government "encourages" us to buy and consume certain products, not always to our benefit. The Paleo diet is mentioned as one of the healthier ways to eat although the article is not written to promote Paleo eating. Click here to Check it Out
There's also this documentary that I saw one day switching channels called "Killer At Large." It's an eye opening documentary that takes a look at many causes of obesity including the toxic food environment, the problems with school lunches and vending machines and the impact food lobbyists have on determining government policies. It also includes stories about young people who've had gastric bypass surgery or liposuction. Plus, there are interviews with dozens of people who have tried to bring attention to the obesity problem including former president Bill Clinton, Kelly Brownell of Yale University and consumer advocate Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This one I don't have a direct link to it...just google it and you could either buy it or watch it free online somewhere.
