This is something we should take in consideration us being the most obese nation and try to find some type of way of improving so we decrease the obesity rates because obesity is the cause of many deaths. Obesity is associated with nearly 2 in 5 u.s. deaths according to a study published online august 15 in the american journal of public health(medscape.com/view/article). From this we can see that obesity deaths plays a big part in the u.s. and if we want to live longer this is something we should address.
