There is a certain resilience when faced with adversity. The more human beings live in a community, the more likely they are to have adversity. This doesn’t mean that community life is always problem-free. There are always problems, but these are situations that can be sorted out. In the United States there has been steady growth in community economic development as an effective means of recovery. “The health of communities is the benchmark to determining the well-being of communities and the vitality of the local economy. [...] When we talk about healthy cities, what we are really talking about is healthy communities, and it starts with a healthy economy, and it starts with a healthy people, and it starts with a healthy environment, all of which are necessarily connected (Wolf, 2011, p. 2).
This link between health and community well-being hasn’t been given much attention in the fight to stem the obesity epidemic. However, healthcare experts note that in communities, physical, emotional and social health are closely connected, and that it is the families in these communities that are the first line of defense in the epidemic. This means that a community well-being initiative may also address a portion of the obesity epidemic through the exercise of such programs as building of parks and recreation centers or establishing rural high schools or daycares. For instance, consider the stories reported by two local Occupy Wall Street activists, Mary O’Brien and Duffie Weaver, who were featured in the New Yorker article “The New Dummies of America”. Weaver and O’Brien stressed that while the obesity crisis affects all Americans, there are particular demographic groups that are especially intimidated by the epidemic. Adult children of wealthy families, as the grassroots activists note, may experience the epidemic most easily in the form of the intergenerational pressure to conform to the status quo. Organizations like these that mobilize grassroots activism can be powerful combination of social justice and community development. d2c66b5586
