Is obesity as big of a problem in america as some people are making it out to be?
Sadly, I think it is. Two out of three men in the US are considered to be obese or overweight and the rates for women are actually much higher.
Oh wow, really? Would you happen to know an overall percentage of obesity in America? 
I don't know the exact numbers, but the US contains one of the highest percentage of obese people in the entire world. That's not a good statistic for us!
Oh, no it's not! Is there anything the average american can do to fight obesity?
Absolutely! Obesity is usually preventable in most cases through a combination of personal choices and social changes. We need to eat less and exercise more!
Ah, yes, see that's the hard part, isn't it, haha! You mentioned women had a different rate than men with being diagnosed with obesity, could you tell me what it is?
No one is really sure why women have more instances of obesity, but it's a huge problem. People who are obese have higher instances of type 2 diabetes, depression, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer!
Oh those links make sense, as if you're obese you probably won't be able to do much.
That's very true. Obesity not only hurts your health, but your pockets as well! An average obese American incurs an averages $1,429 more in medical bills annually than their average weight counterparts.
