Gee, are any of these figures corrected for the fact that the American population is aging and that people normally gain some weight as they get older? Or for demographic change or income? Overweight is correlated with race and inversely related to income.
Nope, just another “bad, bad, bad Americans” mommy government has to come in and set you bad people straight.
