The O Word: Why the Focus on Obesity is Harmful to Community Health
Larry Cohen1, Daniel P. Perales2, and Catherine Steadman1

Abstract
Focusing on the obese and overweight individual alone and is not helping us
address the broader social
and economic issues that influence people’s lives. This paper discusses
strategies to remove us from a
focus on the O word and from blaming the individual for their condition.
