Chris Steffanoni on Instagram: "Childhood obesity is a complex problem in Australia. One out of every four kids is overweight or obese. Childhood obesity has tripled since the 1980s; it's significantly higher for kids who grow up in regional areas, those from low-income families, and those living in single-parent households. We know Australians eat less healthy foods than before; we are also less physically active. Environment, poverty, genetics, housing security, education, town planning and access to healthy food and healthcare all play a massive part in determining how healthy our kids are. Healthy choices are not as accessible to everyone. #nutrition #publichealth #obesity"

Chris Steffanoni on Instagram: "Just a reminder that people don't simply choose to become obese or develop chronic diseases. Up to 60% of the factors that drive poor health are outside of an individual's control. And when it comes to obesity, it's almost impossible for people to get back to a healthy weight without medical intervention. Yes, people should still strive for achievable weight loss through lifestyle changes. Still, if we want to reduce obesity rates, we need to change the social, economic and environmental conditions that prevent people from making healthy choices in the first place. Also, it would do everyone a world of good if we ignored toxic attitudes in the health and wellness industry that tell obese people they're failures for not being able to lose 30 kilos with food and exercise. #nutrition #SdOH #obesity"
