The United States is in the midst of an obesity epidemic, with
more than 35 percent of adults and almost 20 percent of children
considered obese. While recent studies suggest the problem may
have reached its plateau, a new study from Trust for America's
Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation suggests things
are only going to get worse over the next two decades. The
report, "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future
2012" analyzed existing data to project the obesity rates for
each U.S. state by 2030. And the future looks bleak: 13 states
could have adult obesity rates above 60 percent, 39 states could
have rates above 50 percent, and all 50 states could have rates
above 44 percent. Even the current thinnest state in the country
- Colorado, with an obesity rate of almost 21 percent - is
expected to have its rate climb to nearly 50 percent by 2030.
