Poverty, Obesity, Diabetes:

Are They the By-Products of Liberalization of Global Economy?

Abstract

The paper briefly describes the causes of a global rise in obesity and diabetes. In so doing, it establishes links between (1) poverty and obesity, and (2) obesity and dia- betes. The paper also presents data from a survey (N=147) conducted in a depressed economy in Texas where cases of obesity and diabetes are among the highest in the US. The paper argues for a paradigm shift in viewing the role of policymakers in regards to food and pharmaceutical industries, both locally and globally.

Keywords: diabetes, nutrition, obesity, public health policy, national development and public health
