No, but you can spend a bit more time on coverage of new findings/research regarding the causes, initiatives and scientific progress towards treatment etc. Sure it isn't sexy but I think there is enough sensationalism to go around to fund some sensible reporting.
- Konnstann 1y agoThe causes of obesity in the US are well known and reported on, just not as "health" pieces. Food deserts, car-centric infrastructure, poor work-life balance, rising costs of groceries, low access to preventative screens. The only novel research in my opinion would deal with micro plastics and the effect they have on hormones.
