Dr. Jon Hallberg's practical approaches to fighting obesity
All this week on All Things Considered, we're looking at American food culture and how it contributes to the epidemic of obesity. Our series of reports is called, "Fighting Obesity One Meal at a Time."
For a clinical look at practical tools in fighting obesity, we brought in our regular medical analyst. Dr. Jon Hallberg is a physician in family medicine at the University of Minnesota and medical director at the Mill City Clinic in Minneapolis.
