Many Americans Don't Even Know They're Fat
Very interesting information from this article (click link above to read)

"Thirty percent of those in the “overweight” class believed they were actually normal size, while 70 percent of those classified as obese felt they were simply overweight. Among the heaviest group, the morbidly obese, almost 60 percent pegged themselves as obese, while another 39 percent considered themselves merely overweight."

In the mindset of most Americans, they’re not looking at this as a food problem as much as an exercise problem.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 34 percent of adults aged 20 and older are obese, and 34 percent are overweight. Among children, 18 percent of teens aged 12 to 19 are obese, 20 percent of children aged 6 to 11 are obese, as are 10 percent of kids aged 2 to 5."

and sadly: "Obesity may be becoming the new norm"
