A recent article on CNN reported that 2/3 of the US population is over weight or obese. In some states (especially in the South) the obesity rates is 30%. I don't understand how we can worship super thtin super mmodels and spend billions on diet products and still have such a problem. What's it going to take?

It's gonna take the will of a nation : /.
Because it has been years, and is only growing. NOTHING will be able to SHOCK people into health, unless it's directly related to them (parent dies of stroke, sudden type two diabetes, etc etc). So either people sit down, and realize "hey, I'm the only one who can be healthy for ME", or people go "it won't happen to me/it's too late. "0
