A study was released last month by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation titled: “F is for Fat 2009”. The essence of the report once again raised the apparent hopelessness of our national “condition” – we are a “supersized” nation. The report ranked the neck in neck race between four states for the distinction of having the highest rate of obesity in the nation. While the competition was intense, the distinction for the fifth year in a row was awarded to Mississippi, (with honorable mentions to Alabama, West Virginia and Tennessee.) From “sea to shining sea” these states are certainly not alone in this national epidemic. We seem to have lost all rational thought when it comes to the food levels we consume and the eroding levels of activity we collectively engage in.
