The report is a devastating indictment.The nation is in the middle of a public health crisis that is deteriorating rapidly, and we are treating it like an inconvenience.Obesity costs $117 billion a year in preventable healthcare expenditures and is pushing the healthcare system to the breaking point.---- senior vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which sponsored the study.


Basically eating too,too much of anything(not just chocolates) will make you obese. According to officials from the Trust For America's Health,Americans are way too fat. Mississippi is the fattest state in the country and Colorado is the leanest? Mississippi is said to have more than 30% of its residents classified as Obese,but 47 States are above the 20% mark. Obesity,it appears, is increasing at a rapid rate!What about childhood obesity, you ask? 22.8% of Washington D.C's young residents are Obese. Not surprisingly,the highest obesity rates were found in the Southern States. Darn those delicious butter biscuits and Fried Chicken!!!!!!! So delicious-maybe i will have that for lunch.

Moderation,i think, is the key to fighting obesity. So i say Live,Love,and eat a little bit of Chocolates!
