Obesity in the United States is increasing at epidemic proportions. This is true among adults as well as children. We are seeing diseases such as Type II diabetes occurring at younger and younger ages.
If something is not done to stem this burgeoning tide of obesity, the health care system that we know today will soon crumble due to the dramatic increase we are seeing in Type II diabetes and its myriad of associated complications.
Why are we seeing such an increase, especially among our children? What has changed over the last 30 to 40 years that is causing this epidemic?
