Increased Commitment To Prevention A Must, Australia

Amazing.

A think tank that thinks. Sometimes.

"The Australian Medical Association rejected a think tank report that labels efforts to prevent obesity and chronic diseases a waste of money.

The Centre for Independent Studies claims that there is no convincing evidence that preventative health measures work, and Australia's 40-year track record of public health education campaigns have not achieved outcomes."

They only did not think far enough.

Prevention and weight loss efforts fail because prevention and weight loss advice is wrong.

As to the AMA.

"The AMA believes that responsibility for addressing the obesity epidemic is a 'whole-of-society' responsibility - which includes governments, the food industry, the health and education sectors, and individuals." (emphasis added)

They want the care dollars for themselves.

If society has to go to hell in a hand basket, better to line yours with money.
