The American Council for Fitness and Nutrition (ACFN) is a non-profit association of more than 80 organizations, including the American Dietetic Association and the American Association of Diabetes Educators, and is guided by an Advisory Board of experts in the fields of nutrition, physical activity and behavior change. ACFN was formed in January 2003 by a coalition of food and beverage companies, trade associations and nutrition advocates to work toward comprehensive and achievable solutions to the nation’s obesity epidemic.
The rise in obesity is the result of the interaction of a wide variety of economic, cultural, social and genetic factors. Just as there is no single cause of obesity, there is no simple solution.
