Shocking Rates Of Obesity In America Show Something Happened In 1980 That Resulted In A Rapid Increase Of Obese Women
Obesity is the most prevalent metabolic disorder in the US. Research shows that the rapid increase of obesity began somewhere around 1980, and this quick rise has affected women more than men.
It's not difficult to see that obesity has been on the rise in our country over the last couple decades. Sadly, all it takes is a trip to the grocery store or a ball game and you can see that there are many people who are suffering from the common metabolic disorder of obesity. Obesity is no laughing matter. It's the leading contributor to the leading causes of death in this country: heart disease, many types of cancer, diabetes, stroke, and more. The fat acceptance movement may be becoming more and more popular, but that doesn't change the fact that obesity poses a real threat to American society.
