Maybe Wall-E was right?

According to a study published in the journal Obesity, all US adults could be overweight in 40 years. ALL? Is that even possible?

Researches say that even if we never actually reach 100% of the adult population, any upward is the cause for alarm. 2/3 of the US adult population are already overweight.

And waistlines aren’t the only thing getting bigger.   The cost of healthcare directly related to excess pounds will double each decade, reaching $957 billion in 2030 — that’s one of every six healthcare dollars spent in the US.

“This is really intended as a wake-up call to show what could happen if nothing changes,” said Dr. Lan Liang of the federal government’s Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, one of the researchers on the study.
