Freakonomics Podcast – 100 Ways to Fight Obesity
Freakonomics is a show about explaining the things around us – sometimes controversial, sometimes opinionated but always entertaining and thought provoking.
In this episode (37 min) our Freakonomics friends Steve Levitt and Stephen Dubner dive into obesity and invited a bunch of folks with nutritional and behavioral expertise. Shock for me hear stuff about our kids especially babies in utero may start life predisposed to sugar related illness. Geoffrey Canada makes excellent points about our urban communities and the black hole of taxes. He goes on about how the fight against fat may be more challenging than the war against drugs. Another cool lesson from this council of thinkers was linkage — meaning tighter coupling of the behavior and pos/neg outcomes makes a big impact in the choices that we make. It’s hard enough for adults but its also up to us to help our kids through the same. Train’em up! Proverbs 22:6
