For questions or more information, please contact the IFIC Foundation Media Team. Since 1999, the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation has tracked the growing media coverage of the obesity issue. Early in 2004, the IFIC Foundation switched to Lexis-Nexis to track and tabulate numbers on obesity in the news. This chart reflects media coverage of obesity issue in both U.S. and international print and newswires.
A quarterly chart is below along with a full-size PDF version.
