Obesity is one of this country’s most serious health problems. Adult obesity rates have doubled since 1980 and childhood obesity has tripled. This rise in obesity is creating significant health problems, contributing to an increase of over 30 serious health conditions. Over one-quarter of all health care costs are now obesity related. This epidemic is preventable and can be overcome.
