ABOUT THE SESSION
Obesity is a cause for concern. The proportion of obese adults in France has doubled since 1997 and has stabilized in recent years. Currently, 17% of French people are obese.

How can we get out of this health impasse? Diet, medication, behavioral therapy, sports, surgery. Come and discuss all these questions.
