Weighing in - solving the obesity crisis one child at a time: Louis Yuhasz at TEDxCharleston

I’m a dietitian at a local hospital and I have definitely seen an increase in pediatric referrals for fatty liver.

Brilliant presentation. As someone else said below, it is a great pity that not enough folk saw this video. The entire presentation is filled with passion and calling by Louis to do something about this huge problem. Now, almost 5 years later, the problem is far more serious.

Thanks for a passionate and highly effective presentation. Great pity is that not more people have seen it.

I cried.

Thanks for this! I am an advocate for Making Swimming an Educational Standard, (because of many reasons) which would cause more opportunities for exercise, but also, create more municipal pools--which is the place where we first started to get a sense of our body image. Beauty contests in bathing suits...

As a nurse I apologize for how you were treated when your Dad was I’ll.. I used to get upset when I had to break my back trying to lift the morbidly obese but I would never ever verbalize it at the workplace.

[@smpatwardhan]

This was really good and helpful talk. Childhood obesity is highly on the rise in India as well.

nobody gets fat on pears, plums, peaches, pineapples....but they do on pringles

3:12 Do you know how many nurses get injuries when these people go to the hospitals? To many, its Awful these people are in danger and They are bad people cause they don't want to have a limb break, is Unkind? They have the right to be scared. 3:47 He chose to die when he did because he had no self control.

Of course you're completely right, but let's never forget the hospital administrators who habitually understaff. Understaffing puts everyone in danger.
