An annual report put out by two public health groups shows that America is getting fatter adult obesity(肥胖)rates have increased in 16 states in the past year, with 12 states now reporting at least 30% of their populations as overweight. Only one state in the nation, Colorado, has an adult obesity rate below 20%—but at 19. 8%, just barely. Mississippi disgracefully leads the fat pack with a 34.4% rate of obesity. No states showed a decrease since the previous year.
The swollen statistics come from the fifth annual Fas in Fat report, put out by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This year was the first that the researchers also looked at data spanning the previous two decades, and the long-term comparisons show much more obvious jumps in obesity.
"It’s not unlike with individuals, " says Jeffrey Levi, executive director for Trust for America’s Health. "You add a pound or two every year and after 10 or 20 years, it becomes a significant thing, and that’s sort of what the country has done."
In a preface to the report, former Surgeon General David Satcher presents a concrete number of Americans, 190 million, who are overweight. And he outlines the most important aspects of the "epidemic" as he sees them: the associated health problems that are on the rise; increased health-care costst and "food deserts" where largely poor communities have little access to healthy food.
Satcher and Levi both warn against viewing the problem as a series of personal failures. "There’s always going to be an element of personal responsibility, but even when people are motivated, if you live in a neighborhood where the only food that’s available is high-density fast food, it’s going to be very hard to carry through on that personal commitment, " Satcher says. "This isn’t going to be solved by Washington waving a magic stick. This is going to be solved community by community."
