The “younger” Dr. Lyons took the stage today at the Alltech International Symposium. He is Dr. Mark Lyons, director of North America for Alltech. He talked about “Game Changers: The 7th Step for the Health and Vitality of Mankind,” with a focus on future generations
One of the areas he spent some time on was obesity and he shared some startling figures like the fact that worldwide obesity has doubled since 1980 and it costs an average person $1429 per year in increased health costs. He emphasized, “There is a sea of change taking place in our industry. Food and healthcare are at odds and the cost of both is spiraling out of control.”
