Nearly one-quarter are obese, meaning they are at least 30 percent over their ideal weight. “It really is an epidemic,” states James Hill, Ph.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. “If being overweight were an infectious disease we would have mobilized the country. We would have declared a state of emergency.” Exercise and diet are the only method to address this national crisis. Change y...
