"If you&amp;#039;ve turned on the tv or read the news anytime in the past year or two, you probably know that according to many experts, we are in the throes of an obesity epidemic here in America. (Woman&amp;#039;s Day recently ran a report on this health crisis in our October issue). A recent Harvard study predicted just how bad its going to get and their results are staggering: They say that best-case scenario, this obesity epidemic won&amp;#039;t flatline until at least 42 pecent of adults are obese, most likely by the year 2050. This means that if you&amp;#039;re on a bus with 20 people, at least 8 of your fellow passengers will technically be obese (BMI higher than 30). You can find out some of the reasons for this epidemic here and read this survey that we conducted regarding reader&amp;#039;s attitudes on the topic. \u2013 Abby Cuffey, Associate Health Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
