Project Rationale Obesity is one of the health issues affecting many people in different parts of the world. In the United States, 2 in every three adults are either obese or overweight (Allman-Farinelli, 2014). Over 30 percent of the global population is also obese (Ickes, McMullen, Haider, & Sharma, 2014). Extreme obesity is a major challenge affecting around 5 percent of the people across the globe. Most of the strategies implemented in an attempt to deal with this condition have been focusing on adults. Consequently, the youth is a population that has been ignored. Mayor (2013) indicates that 1 in every 6 chidlren is obese. Individuals aged between 6 and 20 years have been ignored by different campaigns focusing on the problem of obesity. This gap explains why a new study aimed at understanding youth obesity in needed. The study is important because it will outline new strategies for dealing with this public health concern. Review of the Literature A study by Allman-Farinelli (2014) indicated that individuals aged between 15 and 25 were prone to obesity. This was the case because of the transition from their teenage to adulthood. The group was no longer embracing the idea of work-life balance. Cheyne, Mejia, Nixon, and Dorfman (2014) believe strongly that many young adults take the issue of weight lightly. Many young people engage in partying events and activities. This practice has been associated with overeating and consumption of unhealthy food materials. Cheke, Simons, and Clayton (2016) indicate that the cultural attributes and behaviors embraced in different communities have exposed many youths to obesity. For instance, some youth people eat specific foods without focusing on their nutritional values. Changing sociological practices have transformed the manner in which people embrace healthy lifestyles (Cheyne et al., 2014). In different growing economies, many young people have been experiencing rapid economic status growth or shift (Osei-Assibey et al., 2013). This rapid shift is associated with different misbehaviors and drinking habits that have led to the obesity problem. Lack of adequate education on health promotion practices explains why the problem has become a reality. Obesity is no longer taken seriously in many countries. Many youths are coexisting with their obese friends and relatives (Sharman & Nobles, 2015). This paradigm shift has led to a misperception whereby obesity is no longer taken seriously. Consequently, more young people have ignored some of the best practices to tackle the condition (Chinedu & Emiloju, 2014). Parents have been allowing their children to consume fast foods. These individuals grow up knowing that such foods are healthy and important for well-being. This malpractice has led to the current obesity epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has come up with a powerful obesity policy to deal with the epidemic (Ickes et al., 2014). The policy focuses on the best approaches that can be implemented to address the problems associated with physical inactivity and poor nutrition. The policy encourages different stakeholders and policymakers to implement powerful initiatives that can support the health needs of more youths (Poobalan & Aucott, 2015). These measures will definitely make it easier for young people to lead healthier lifestyles. Unfortunately,
