A thought on Obesity

The prevalence of Adult Obesity in the U.S. in 1992 was only 6%. In 1999 it was recorded at a soaring 57%. Blame it on what you want...but we can only blame ourselves and our personal habbits.

"Clearly, genes related to obesity are not responsible for the epidemic of obesity because the U.S. gene pool did not change significantly between 1991 and 1999."
