While myriad organizations such as government agencies, industry groups, private foundations, schools, healthcare providers, and even professional societies such as the Endocrine Society are all doing their collective best to educate their constituents and audiences about the dangers of obesity, studies show that by and large, most Americans are still getting fatter.
The Los Angeles Times highlighted studies from JAMA, one of which found that 35% of men and 40% of women were obese as of 2014. Another study stated that 17% of children and teens were also obese…with nearly 6% classified as being morbidly obese.
Sadly, authors of the studies wrote that results of their studies, while not very promising, simply weren’t that surprising.
