I’s today news that the Quarterly Report on economic and social situation of the European Commission gives to Italy the first place for job losses and reduced earnings of families. We are a country on the ropes like a boxer that someone claims to drop permanently to the ground. We are a country in which not only there is less work and earns  but at too much people lack the health, because they ruin with junk food or eating excessive amounts of food. This phenomenon has a very high social cost per year, amounting to 8.3 billion, corresponding to 6.7% of public costs that it is lost in health care, mainly for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but also for dieticians and psychologists (in Use the cost of obesity to the State affects 9% of the total medical spending, 147 billion dollars). Costs that can only get worse: in 2025 it is expected that 43% of adults will be obese. The war for the dissemination of a wellness culture  is possible to do it but nobody in Italy talks about. It has no special cost, does not require agreements between the social parts, does not require that the European economic situation changes, it is irrelevant to the value of the spread. I wonder if anyone, from the ministry of health, do anything because this issue is not political battleground that is the main art practiced by the politiciens or because the governement in Rome as in the regions do not understand or they minimize this issue concerning the health of the citizens. It could also be that the idea of ​​improving diet and  to promote the diffusion of the physical activity are solutions  so trivial that it is believed that every person should be able to find the best solution for him/her-self.
