This is a letter addressing the "obesogen theory" and how the government could play a role in the prevention of obesity through the implementation of beter food regulations. I thought it was interesting to see a current letter addressing my topic and maybe it's a type source other people can look for that they may not have initially thought of.

A link in this article led me to another useful source. I didn't know that the White House was involved with this and that obesogens were brought to their attention until I read this letter. Bruce Blumberg signed the letter and since many of my sources are about his studies I thought it was neat how this letter tied together some of my research.
