Weighing the Options: How Can We Encourage Healthy Weights among America's Youth?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Six in ten American adults are above what experts consider a healthy weight. More than a quarter of all adults are in the obese range, a rate that has doubled in less than twenty years. The weight boom has hit children just as hard, with obesity rates tripling in the last three decades. The excess pounds often trigger major health problems, including heart disease and diabetes -- conditions that worsen in adulthood. Obesity has severe social consequences, as well. Overweight youth are often teased and even ridiculed, causing emotional scars that can last a lifetime.The purpose of this guide is to encourage public deliberation about the problem and what we can do about it. While people have differing opinions on the issue, most agree that multiple factors contribute to our overweight society. To tackle the problem successfully, everyone needs to be involved -- families, schools, health and social service programs, community and faith based groups, government, and industry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
