Reuters - TORONTO (Reuters) -- There is little debate that obesity
presents a public health issue in North America -- obesity
rates have more than doubled over a generation in the United

Prevention. But the causes of obesity -- and therefore, the
solutions -- are not as obvious, according to research
presented this week at a media workshop run by the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research.
