  • 2005 spring - AHS faculty members Dr. Millicent Fleming-Moran and Dr. Lloyd Kolbe were featured in articles about obesity in the Bloomington Herald Times (June 6,7)and the Indiana Daily Student (June 6). Dr. Fleming-Moran's study based on data from the CDC's nationwide 2001 Youth Risk Behavioral Survey found that "TV viewing in and of itself is promoting obesity. Next to sleeping, TV watching is the lowest metabolic rate you can achieve." She noted that besides dropping one's metabolic rate, TV is a powerful influence with commercials that promote giant fast food burgers and sugary colas and concluded, "We may have to go the same way that we did with smoking, removing some of the messages." Dr. Lloyd Kolbe, who was the founding director of the Division of Adolescent and School Health at the CDC, is well qualified to describe the scope of the problem: "People don't realize the magnitude or the economics of the problem. It's projected that by 2012, 18 percent of the gross domestic product will pay for problems caused by chronic diseases vastly increased by the obesity epidemic."
