政府发放的农业补贴正在加剧美国的肥胖趋势。目前的农业政策在很大程度上仍然不了解公共卫生方面的讨论。尽管研究结果表明，取消所有补贴对肥胖症的流行率会产生轻微影响，但随着时间的推移，商品计划的修订可能会对人口规模产生可衡量的公共卫生影响。政策改革将是美国肥胖症未来的重要决定因素，主要是通过修订赔偿计划，并将越来越多的资源分配给可持续农业。需要在政策层面进行公共卫生干预，以促进消费者健康行为的改变。2013年农业法案将是在不久的将来促成这种政策变化的关键机制。(c)2013年美国预防医学杂志
Government-issued agricultural subsidies are worsening obesity trends in America. Current agricultural policy remains largely uninformed by public health discourse. Although findings suggest that eliminating all subsidies would have a mild impact on the prevalence of obesity, a revision of commodity programs could have a measurable public health impact on a population scale, over time. Policy reforms will be important determinants of the future of obesity in America, primarily through indemnity program revisions, and the allocation of increasing amounts of resources to sustainable agriculture. Public health intervention will be required at the policy level to promote healthy behavioral changes in consumers. The 2013 Farm Bill will be the key mechanism to induce such policy change in the near future. (c) 2013 American Journal of Preventive Medicine
