Do you think Obesity is a big problem is the United States ?
As you see in this picture above, Yes Obesity is one of the biggest problem in the USA. Just by looking at the picture and the percentage, we can see that in USA is the one that has the biggest problem of obesity around the world. In the United States most of the food that is packed is made mostly of corn syrup.In this article I read, it says that obesity is the growth of hormones that people give to the animals and that is the meat that we eat. Also in the United States there are a lot of restaurants of fast food. For example, McDonald is one of the most popular fast food in the United States, not only in USA but around the word too.
This is a map is showing the percentage of obesity from 1985-2010.
In 1980-2008 the percentage of obesity in children 2-5 years, the percentage increased from 5.0% to 12.4%. The age of 6 to 11 years tripled from 6.5% to 19.6%.The age of 12-19 years, the percentage increased from 5.0% to 17.6%.
This map is from 2011. We still have obesity. This was just last year.

Josselyn good job!. This make me realize how much we need to take care of our self and to need eat a lot of fast food, to make this country not the number one in obesity.
ReplyDeleteNice topic man ! It kept me engaged throughout the reading. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI like this topic because this is very true that American has the highest rats of obesity. In american almost all the people eat fast food and unhealthy foods. I why in Asian they have the least rats of obesity. its because they eat less fast foods and mostly because in Asian people eat foods with their family which is made by their wives or any other family members .
ReplyDeleteI really liked this topic because I like the fact that you took your time to look for a diagram of how obesity is not only in America. (:
