Oprah on Weight Management

Oprah has used her super stardom to advocate for many things, for example healthy living, money management, Obama and so on. But in my post today, I'm going to focus on Oprah and her part in spreading awareness on weight management. It is pretty ironic that some countries in the world are trying their very best to reduce hunger, and some are facing an opposing problem of obesity. I personally feel Oprah is so passionate about this topic because she herself has faced the same problem (she developed thyroid problems in 2007 that affected her metabolism and made staying trim even more difficult) and feel that it is important to prevent it as much as possible. Therefore, she invited guests like Kristie Alley, Valerie Bertinelli and Dr. Oz to discuss weight issues on her show. It is vital for Oprah to promote healthy living as obesity is currently a terrifying epidemic around the world. Oprah is all out to promote healthier lifestyles when she went to Mississippi in 2008, which was named the fattest state in the US, to join the fight with her fellow Mississippians who are also struggling with their weight.
