The health cause that I am most passionate about is obesity. Many members of my family are considered to be obese or overweight. With all the related health risks associated with being obese, it makes me worry for the health of my beloved family members. Some of these health risks include: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Obesity is a health concern that can be prevented in most cases, with the correct diet and exercise.

The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping obese individuals
