Manage episode 342983480 series 2454167
Chronic heart disease. Arthritis. Diabetes. Physical disabilities. These are just some of the problems caused by obesity, which, in and of itself, is a growing problem in the United States. Just how much? Consider this troubling development: every state in America currently has an obesity rate that tops 25%. As recently as 20 years ago, not a single state had an obesity rate that high. Dara Lieberman, Director of Government Relations at Trust for America's Health, explains the ripple effects this trend is creating, and what policy makers might be able to do to help.
