YPF sponsors the M.A.D. F.O.O.D. Movement, a National "call" for families and communities to Make A Difference: Fix Obesity & Overweight Disorder. The negative and long-range impact of this epidemic is real and present. Our goal is to be proactive in stopping the problem from spreading by being an active force in the community providing arts, entertainment and sports programs that:
- a.) Inform the community of the problem and why it exists,
- b.) Includes the community in planning and developing strategies to,
- c.) Initiate action to combat the problem through life-style change on an active basis to
- d.) Fix the problem
Research has proven that the main cause of this problem stems from the sedentary lifestyles of both youth and adults, all races and cultures. Please join us on October 2, 2011 for the Physically Healty And Talented (PHAT) Festival at Discovery Green, in Houston, Texas. We will join forces with community partners, businesses and government to provide individuals and families with tools needed to help fix the problem of Obesity.
