Public Health Advocate-Walter Willett

Growing up around a dairy farm, Walter Willett has been around the food business his whole life. He also was surrounded by biology. His father did the first ova transplant in a human. Willett used these influences to go on to medical school and focused on nutrition. He got his M.D. and has devoted his life "to improve public health by improving diets, most often through research"(Powell).  The things we subconsciously know pertaining to good health came from Willett's research. "Don't smoke, exercise regularly, avoid added sugar and processed food"(Powell). I strongly agree to these unwritten rules about living healthy. I admire the fact that there is someone that researches about public health so that we can better ourselves. The question and answer section of this articles allows for us to hear everything directly from Willett himself. I think it really helped give background information and to see where Willett came from. It is evident he is very successful in his research.
