According to this Reuters article, if eating and exercise trends continue, it is possible that within the next four decade 100% of the American adult population will be overweight.

Lets say that again. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. WE WILL ALL BE FAT larger than is considered physically healthy. This may sound shocking, but since two thirds of American adults are already overweight, it is not too far off.

Especially at risk are African American women and Mexican American men (who may all be await by 2034).

Eek.

So what can we do about it? According to the article, simply telling people to eat healthier and exercise more often isn't enough. Broader changes are required, specifically:

-Creating pedestrian friendly communities in order for people to be able to walk or bike rather than drive somewhere

-Forcing the food industry to offer healthier, calorie conscious options at a lower cost--it can be really expensive to eat healthily!
