I find many different things when searching for content to post on this site. Today, I came across a chart that represents how obesity has grown over the last 20 years in the United States. It’s actually quite scary, although I’m not sure how accurate it truly is.
Nevertheless, I think it is important to view, so we all understand the growing epidemic of Obesity in the United States. Below is the figure.
