In 1994 the percentage of the population in every state that was obese was less than 20%, but by 2008, only one state still had a percentage obese below 20% , six states had a percentage obese of more than 30% while the rest of the states ranged between 20% and 30%.[1] In 2016, the number of obese people reached an all-time high of about 93 million, which was up 33 percent from 2008 according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).[2] This may be even more concerning for children and teens who have seen their rate of obesity go up to 18.5%, which is triple the rate in 1980. If current trends continue, as many as 57% of them will end up obese by the time, they reach the age of 35.[3] This will put them at higher risk for other health conditions such as, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. In response, both federal and local officials have instituted policies to combat obesity as well as promote healthy eating, such as: The Farm Bill, National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act, as well as The Healthy Kid Act.
