While I will be writing on Forbes mostly about the technology and Human Internet of Things (HIoT) in healthcare, I thought it was really important to get at the fundamental reasons were are so fat. Earlier, I wrote an article “Four fundamental shifts required for improved population health” in which I mentioned that a big reason for our health crisis is self-inflicted. As a society we have, over the past 40 years or so, made it easier and cheaper to be less healthy. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. We’ll look at some of the big ones here, and explore ways we are addressing or can begin to address these trends, and discuss if  companies like McDonald’s Corp, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Panera Bread Company,  General Mills, Kellogg Company, Under Armour, and Nike have really helped.
