Obesity in the USA
There appears to be no end in sight for the American cycle of eating itself to death. The economy hasn’t gotten much better, and the medical community consistently points out a lack of messaging and programming to stop the alarming increase in American obesity.
New information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that obesity is up among both sexes, among every race, and in all 50 states. Overall obesity rates were up about 4 percent in 2009 as compared to 2007 – which translates to 26.7 of the American population being obese, up from 25.6 in 2007.
