Choice vs. regulation: the role of public policy in obesity management

WASHINGTON – It’s not people who’ve changed over the last 3 decades, but the environment around them that has brought on the obesity crisis, according to the deputy commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Dr. Susan M. Kansagra.

"The environment promotes people to consume more calories," Dr. Kansagra said in an audio interview during the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American College of Endocrinology’s joint consensus conference on obesity. In this interview about the multifactorial nature of the disease, Dr. Kansagra discusses what role she sees as the role of public officials in shaping that environment.
