"Adult obesity rates did not decrease in a single state over the past year, but rather increased in 23 states. Also, the percentage of obese and overweight children is now at or above 30 percent in 30 states...Ah, a paid bias.

Who could have seen that coming?
"'Don't feel like you need to give your diet a complete overhaul right away. Sometimes big changes are difficult to stick to. If you can only make one diet change right now you're best option is to add just one extra serving of fruit or vegetables each day. You'll find you won't need to eat as much of other foods when you do.'"Don't feel like you EVER need to give your diet a complete overhaul.
That prospect is daunting for many people.
And don't rush into "exercise," either.
Just cut back on the Calories a small amount.
But only if you want to succeed.

This study is pretty interesting... it says that 62% of adult Americans are classified as "obese" according to the government standard... it also mentions that most "healthy weight" Americans feel that obese individuals should have to pay higher insurance premiums: http://mediacurves.com/HealthCare/J7474b-FatTax/Index.cfm
Hello, Kim and welcome to Fitness Watch.
The caption was "overweight" not "obese."
With 100% certainty, the fat should pay more for their sick care, things fat people use that intended-sized humans do not should be taxed and collective punishment, i.e., taxing particular foods, is loony.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for visiting.
