True that over 50% of Americans are overweight?
Question:
Answers:
I believe that number is high, or exagerated. Certainly there are far too many Americans overweight or even obese, but I`m 5`11, 205, muscular build. I know I have 10 to 12 lbs of extra weight around the middle, but according to their index, I should weigh 170. Unless I stop working out & puke up everything I`ve eaten over the last 5 years, that`s not possible.I`m sure there are many on the list considered obese who may actually be only 10 to 15 lbs over weight. There are a lot of factors not considered.
More than 119 million people, 64.5% of the US population, are now considered overweight or obese, according to the Trust for Americans' Health, an independent advocacy group that says the nation has been let down by ineffective anti-obesity policies.
