Obesity Epidemic

 
On Tuesday a new report was released discussing the American obesity epidemic. This 124-page report by the “Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was titled “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future.”

At present, 36 percent of us are considered to be obese. By 2030 it is anticipated that 50 percent of us will be fat.

FIFTY percent.

How do we begin to break this cycle?
