The unstoppable spread of obesity

You most likely have seen the obesity map at some industry event. What the powerpoint presentation shows is the persistent spread of obesity in the U.S. In 1985, the CDC shows eight states were reported to have between 10% and 14% of their population categorized as obese. The balance of the states reported no statistics or showed obesity levels below 10%. By 2006, 20 states showed 25% of their population as obese.
