A study by the National Center for Health Statistics announced that over two-thirds of Americans between 20 & 72 are fat, with MORE than half of those being in the obese category.
I thought that shows such as NBC's "The Biggest Loser" were showing freaks and what they can accomplish given proper nutritional guidance and exercise motivation. But it's apparent that they are the freaks after losing all that weight - the norm is being heavy, and being overly heavy! Yikes.
The good news though from the CDC is that 1 in 200 (or one-half of one percent) of kids in America is a vegetarian; a growing trend that may help reverse the above. Let's hope.
