A Survey of Obesity Education and Training in United States Pharmacy Schools
CONCLUSION: Pharmacists, as medication experts, are key members of the care team. However, obesity management/pharmacotherapy is not emphasized in most pharmacy schools. Therefore, pharmacists are not well-prepared to provide counseling on medications for obesity. Leveraging guidance on core obesity competencies and available resources could help expand obesity education in pharmacy schools.PMID:37597919 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajpe.2023.100109

Improving Physical Education In Schools
Feeling comfortable and confident in sport, health, or PE can be very difficult for some young people who can be seen as a 'risk' of becoming obese. Young people from ethnic minorities, especially girls, are more likely to be physically inactive and unhealthy. This perception needs to be addressed and challenged in school physical education (PE) according to research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), which shows how school provision could make use of visual approaches in developing young people's critical learning about the body...

Is it acceptable to use animals to model obese humans? A critical discussion of two arguments against the use of animals in obesity research
Animal use in medical research is widely accepted on the basis that it may help to save human lives and improve their quality of life. Recently, however, objections have been made specifically to the use of animals in scientific investigation of human obesity. This paper discusses two arguments for the view that this form of animal use, unlike some other forms of animal-based medical research, cannot be defended. The first argument leans heavily on the notion that people themselves are responsible for developing obesity and so-called ‘lifestyle’ diseases; the second involves the claim that animal studies of obe...

Against autonomy: justifying coercive paternalism
Too often, we as individuals do things that harm us, that seriously interfere with our being able to live in the way that we want. We eat food that makes us obese, that promotes diabetes, heart failure and other serious illness, while at the same time, we want to live long and healthy lives. Too many of us smoke cigarettes, even while acknowledging we wish we had never begun. We behave in ways that undercut our ability to reach some of our most valued goals, despite education and despite incentives to choose the right thing. What should be done? If I were to try to harm someone else in a way that alters his future seriousl...
