According to a statement out of Johns Hopkins University America is fat and getting fatter every day. The statement says “Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 percent of adults and nearly 24 percent of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight or obese.” Wow. That’s a lot of fat people.
Somehow we have to find a way to get those that are struggling with their weight to feel and look better. In the end and more importantly those that are not overweight have better quality of life and live longer. Isn’t that the point?
The statement continues “Obesity is likely to continue to increase, and if nothing is done, it will soon become the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.”
