We know that there is an obesity epidemic in this country, We also know that obesity does not discriminate. It occurs in men, women and children of all ages. Nevertheless, here are some numbers to think about.
Almost 10% of American women are now in the highest category of obesity.
What does that mean? Well for example a woman 5'4" tall would weigh more than 233 pounds if she were in this category!
What about the remainder of women?
Well the bad news is that overall 40% of all women are obese! This means that they have a body mass index of 30 or higher.
We ask why this is happening in a country that has some of the finest medical care in the world
