Fat America
Discusses the obesity epidemic in the United States.
America is obsessed with weight. It is unfortunately an obsession
that has resulted in an obesity epidemic that is rapidly spreading.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 66 percent of
American adults are overweight. That is equivalent to 134 million
American adults and of those, 64 million are obese. That is a huge
problem.
Information Overload
We are bombarded with
weight loss information. Bookstores are overflowing with diet and
fitness books. Hundreds of magazines feature tips and tricks to lose
weight monthly. Not to mention advertisements on the internet,
billboards, buses, subways and even bathrooms pitching weight loss
plans, memberships, equipment, foods and drugs. And still we continue
to get fatter.
