Members phkrause Posted July 2, 2014 Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 Almost halfway through its fourth decade, the obesity epidemic is holding strong, if not gaining momentum. More than one-third of the U.S. adult population is obese and two-thirds are overweight. The personal and social costs are enormous, second only to tobacco use as a cause of mortality. The annual costs of obesity in the U.S. has been estimated to exceed $1 trillion. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-wisman/obesity-epidemic_b_5534297.html?utm_hp_ref=healthy-living Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
