We're Getting Fatter By the Minute

Monday November 17, 2003
You've no doubt heard the news--we're getting fatter every day. What's even scarier than that? For one thing, the statistics on severe obesity (those who are 100 or more pounds overweight). According to JAMA, between 1986 and 2000, the number of severely obese people quadrupled, going from 1 in 200 to 1 in 50. Man...that sucks! If you could stand to lose a few pounds, check out these resources for exercise and weight loss. Don't become a statistic!
