Americans and Obesity

I realized that obesity can also lead to unhealthier lives and decided to look into it further.  Taking a look at the statistics given by obesityinamerica.org, which ties in to cdc.gov shows that one-third of U.S. adults are considered as being obese.  As a kid personally I was extremely fat, but I managed to lose all of that weight somehow.  Obesity runs in my family on both my dads side and my mothers side of the family so I understand what it's like.  If almost 75 billion in medical expenses was used for obesity in 2003, one can only imagine how much that would change if statistics were given for this year.
