Through our work with the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF), we have spearheaded the most comprehensive and serious anti-obesity effort ever developed by the food and beverage industry, and we have no plans of stopping any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2010, the founding partners of the HWCF committed to reduce calories in the marketplace by providing consumers with lower-calorie options, changing recipes where possible to lower the calorie content of current products, or reducing portion sizes of existing single-serve products and investing in and supporting nutrition and physical education in schools. We\u2019re also working with the Girl Scouts of the USA, 100 Black Men of America, the PTA and over 250 corporate and non-governmental partners who are helping to carry our message to students and families across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to get Americans to reduce calories \u2013 and our members have pledged to cut 1.5 trillion calories a year from the marketplace by 2015. We\u2019re thrilled to announce that we have substantially surpassed the 2015 goal by 400%! The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has verified that our members have <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1fg6cya\"><strong>reduced 6.4 trillion calories<\/strong><\/a> from the marketplace, resulting in <strong>78 fewer calories per day for every American.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a complex issue \u2014 and no one is going to solve it alone. But together we can help families in America fight obesity and achieve an active, healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lisa Gable is President of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may be no surprise to learn that American\u2019s waistlines have been steadily expanding in recent decades \u2013 more than 35 percent of Americans are obese, and 70 percent are [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":4015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[205,165,25,203,153,206,15,204],"class_list":["post-7708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-healthy-living","tag-calories","tag-healthy","tag-healthy-weight-commitment-foundation","tag-hwcf","tag-lisa-gable","tag-reduce","tag-robert-wood-johnson-foundation","tag-rwjf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
