It’s really rather unpleasant to be reminded of this –big- problem we have in our day, but here I go anyway.
The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the world. If current trends continue through 2030, over half of adult Americans will be obese, with an additional 35% overweight and the total health care costs attributed to these conditions will double every decade, reaching almost $1 trillion by 2030.
I agree with some predictions that it will be our most ‘weighty’ health issue to confront for many years. Sure sounds like we’re going to be spending the big bucks in various arenas: medically and other.
