... if you are overweight or obese then you should read this here. You can check out what you need to do in terms of eating and exercising (and for how long) by using the 'Body Weight Simulator'. Further reading can be found in The Lancet - more info here.
"One in 3 Americans are obese — not merely overweight, a description that applies to 2 in 3 Americans."
Why are people obese? This is not rocket science. They eat too much food and since the 70's food has been over-produced,making it cheaper. 'Fortunately' people waste a LOT of food (40-50% !!!) or the situation re weight and the associated health problems would be far more severe than it currently is (and getting worse) - information from 2004 here. A 2008 report (PDF!) here.
