Report Highlights Increasing Obesity Rate in US

July 6, 2009: 10:20 AM EST
Adult obesity rates increased in 23 US states and decreased in none over the past year, says the sixth annual F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2009 report, released July 1, by the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Thirty percent or more of the children in 30 states are also now obese or overweight. Elizabeth Pivonka, a registered dietitian and CEO of Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), says that Americans do not eat enough fruit and vegetables, one of the keys to weight loss.
