Dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior changes can help one lose weight. Prescription medications and weight-loss surgery are additional options for treating obesity. Treating obesity is good for society because it restores the health of those that are overweight. In the future we should invest more in empowering our communities to make healthy choices, like by building more public gyms, adding more healthy grocery stores in rural areas, and so much more. The more we can educate people about the causes and effects of obesity, the fewer people will have to suffer from this
