Waistlines continue to grow in U.S.

Mississippi continued to lead the way. An estimated 29.5 percent of adults there are considered obese. That’s an increase of 1.1 percentage points when compared with last year’s report, which is compiled by Trust for America’s Health, an advocacy group that promotes increased funding for public health programs.

A really simple way to reduce those waistlines is for restaurants to reduce portion sizes. They are massive. That in turn would perhaps make people think about how much they are eating. And then we could work on the “what” we are eating next. Just some little tweaks could make a big difference in a lot of ways.
