Problem: Obesity Epidemic
Thirty years ago the medical community was just beginning to understand the negative health consequences of being overweight.
Thirty years later a dreadful amount of money is being spent on health issues related to being overweight.
What we call a “Health Care System” is not a health care system at all. It is a disease management system.
In 1985, 10% of the population was obese.
In 1995, a whole new category emerged with 15-20% obese.
In 2000, another new category emerged with 20-25% obese and extremely overweight.
In 2004 the Surgeon General said that 65% of American adults, or 2 out of 3, were overweight to extremely overweight. Alarm bells started going off.
Adults, and now children and teenagers are increasing their numbers at an alarming rate in being overweight. In 2009 when the most recent stats came out, there is now another new category.
Thirty to 40 percent of the population is at risk to shorten their lifespan as a result of being obese. The future looks grim with forty million to three-hundred million people being overweight to obese.
Trends as we go forward in the coming years do not look good. Children born before 2000 will have a one out of three chance of developing diabetes. They will be the first generation who will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
