Well according to a recent study over half of the population is over weight and nearly a third is obese. The thing that is bothering me is that our life expectation is also increasing. In 1991 the life expectancy of the average American was 72 years and now it is 74.1 years while in the last 10 years obesity has increased in nearly 60%. There are many health risks that come with obesity including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. I just don’t know why the life expectancy is increasing directly to obesity.
