Experts warn that 42 percent of Americans will be obese by 2030 (up from 36% in 2010). What are your thoughts on this?

I think you can't really expect anything else... We feed our livestock growth hormone, we genetically alter our produce to make them bigger...and then we absorb those same things when we eat the byproducts...

Additionally, we dump every sort of chemical into our water supply, not only by what we put in the water, but by what we put in the air as well...and then we think that somehow we will come out of it okay.

And we call it progress.

Since it isn't true & the gov't is just making up crap so that they can creat more regulations to control what you can eat and how much. There is no solid evidence to support There claims of obese in anyone. If it was true then why are there over 35 million people starving/or not enough food to eat in this country?
Another point is there are counting everyone who is above the gov't's weight standard so that makes either you are the person next to you obese, are u?

Take lots of walks and other forms of enjoyable exercise. Try to eat locally grown fresh produce. Avoid processed foods with high concentrates of salt and chemical preservatives and calories but LOW in nutritional value. Just as important.... try to be happy!! Stress seems to up a persons tendency to gain weight!!
Then ya won't be a part of that "prediction" and THAT can make it TOTALLY incorrect! :)

We live in a fat a$$ nation in the U.S. It is disgusting. Fat people are driving up health care costs. Do you want to know what I really think, I was being kind?

Cant nobody really PREDICT the future but Jesus so just make sure u stay healthy n not obese bc truth be told, only people u can worry about is self

I think Americans are lovely. Great teeth, slim, smart, intelligent, healthy, good looking, sexy, considerate, compassionate, hardworking & friendly.

I can believe it, problem over here in the UK too. I feel for the children, diabetes, strokes, heart disease all preventable.

Deliberate USA policy.The fatter the citizen,the bigger the target and easier to catch or shoot.

You want to check out the UK then, there's fatties everywhere !! Horrible !!!!!

people need to stop eating fast food and learn how to cook things the real way :)

Spare fuel in excess doesn't totally shut down the genitalia.
