Obesity Rates 2008
Well, the year of 2008 is coming to a close, and most of us like to talk about the amount of money that we have made or the things that we have aquired over the last year. But we are not going to talk about money, or cars, nothing like that, we are going to talk about the obesity rates in 2008.
Over the last year, the obesity rates within the United States has risen nearly 3%! Now, think about how many people actually live in the United States, and think about the amount of people that are now considered obese.
If you think about it this way, as the years go by, there are going to be more and more obese people. If we do not start taking care of ourselves we are going to run into some serious problems! As the year comes to a close, Mississippi has been name the fattest state in the U.S. and this is the the third straight year in a row that Mississippi has been awarded the title.
Just think about it, instead of obesity rates falling year after year, obesity rates are actually increasing and the numbers and percentages are staggering. If we do not start taking care of ourselves, and start living healthier lives, the obesity rate after each year is going to be more than just 3%, think about the rate increasing to 9 or 10 percent! Stop the trend while you can, and spread the word, get everyone involved in the fight to be obesity.
