Obesity wake-up call

The CDC has just updated its obesity statistics. In 2009-2010:

33.1% of American adults were overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30); and a further
35.7% of American adults were obese (BMI ≥ 30).

In sum, about 69% of American adults are either overweight or obese. This is a national disaster.
