obestiy in the US has gotten worse in reent decades
Yes it has. I personally blame the fast food industry - tons of cheap food laden with fat and sugar!
yea and its a major health issue as it has resulted in diseases such as coronary heart diseas that leads to mortality
It's absolutely awful. The Government needs to do something - people's lives are at risk. Any idea how to reverse this trend?
nothing concrete but the overweight percentages for the US population are higher reaching 39.4% in 1997, 44.5% in 2004 and 56.6% in 2007
That's a heck of a hike! What other information do you have about this epidemic?
well its expected that the number is suspeted to increaste to about $1.24 billion by 2030 for added medical expenses
I bet the insurance companies are loving that! If it's going to cost so much, surely it's worth the government's time to address the issue.
