We have been warned. In a recent article from Reuters, studies show that just about every adult in the United States will be overweight in 40 years. If I live long enough, I'll be 59 by then. Or maybe I'll get fatter faster than the rest of the country. I am not alone, however. A huge portion of the country, about two-thirds, are already heavier than they should be. Dr. Lan Liang of the Agency for Health care Research and Quality said that it seems impossible to imagine all adults to be overweight, but at the rate we're going, that prospect is becoming more and more real each day. African-American and Mexican American minorities in particular, she said, are the most affected groups in the population.
Well, should we be scared? Absolutely. But hey, it's not too late. A scientific study is not set in stone. If we assume more responsibility for ourselves, we just might be able to avert this from happening. So jump on the treadmill, lay off the junk food, and see the good results.
