Obesity rates went up in 23 states and went down in no states. 34.3% of Americans are obese and 32.7% are overweight. That compares with 15% in 1980. The Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation compiled this report. The goal of the Department of Health and Human Services was to reduce obesity rates in all 50 states to 15% before 2010. Ooops.
