The Biggest Problem we Face in the US: Obesity

Studies show 70% of the US population is either overweight or obese. These staggering numbers have shot up since the non/low fat revolution where sadly sugar intake has doubled. For the first time in history, our children (the next generation) will not out live the current generation. 35% of our children are now overweight and this number grows daily. Studies also show over 600,000 people die a month in this country due to heart disease, cancer and diabetes. I have been a bodybuilder for 33 years and always had a passion for a healthy lifestyle.
