According to a study conducted by Obesity (a medical journal), nearly all adult Americans will be overweight by 2048, if the lifestyle trends of the past 30 years continue.
In my opinion, this seems a bit extreme. Although this blog is based on the demise of American health standards, I am optimistic that this country/society can turn around...if it wants to.
I also consider this article to be meant as a wake-up call for those Americans who lack the motivation to make a lifestyle change. Either they have no family history of heart disease, diabetes, etc., and do not feel at risk for such conditions, or they simply have lost hope that they their healthy will become a priority. Regardless, this is a scary stat, but it's one (like global warming) that can be averted by making small changes for a greater impact.
