BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With hundreds of million people around the world currently living with obesity, it is more important than ever to support World Obesity Day and the call for everyone to act now. Joining forces with obesity and health-related organisations around the world, the International Sweeteners Association (ISA) is proud to renew its support to this key awareness day.
Obesity remains a global problem, and it affects us all1:
Anne-Sophie Joly, President of CNAO2, the French association for people living with obesity, highlights that: Although obesity affects a large part of the global population, today it is still widely unknown. Patients living with obesity need the support from everyone to aspire to a better future: better prevention, information and education around obesity for all.
Today, we know that the root causes of obesity are complex and multi-factorial, and as a consequence, the solutions are not straight-forward. Still, while no single act can fix the obesity crisis, creating a healthier food environment is a step forward.
Together, we can make a difference in obesity management
In line with this years World Obesity Day theme, Everybody needs to act now, and together, to spread the word about obesity prevention and management. This is why for this years campaign, the ISA is honoured to be partnering with renowned obesity and health-related organisations on the development of its digital campaign, whom include: CNAO and ADEXO3, respectively the French and the Portuguese associations for people living with obesity, as well as the Hellenic Medical Association for Obesity (HMAO). Our campaign has also received the valuable support from the Brazilian diabetes association4 (ANAD), the Brazilian Association of Diabetes Educators5 (ANBED), the Colombian Diabetology Federation6 (FDC), and the Brazilian Federation of Diabetes Organisations7 (FENAD).
With all the above in mind, the ISA is proud to release its campaign for World Obesity Day 2022, which includes:
Everyone, all around the world, and in any body size, should have access and be able to enjoy healthy, safe and tasteful foods and meals to live healthier, happier and longer lives!
