Half of USA to be Fat in 2030

Fat? Don't worry - you're in good company ... or soon will be.

According to the medical journal The Lancet, half of America will be obese in just two decades:

These trends project 65 million more obese adults in the USA and 11 million more obese adults in the UK by 2030, consequently accruing an additional 6-8.5 million cases of diabetes, 5.7-7.3 million cases of heart disease and stroke, 492,000-669,000 additional cases of cancer, and 26-55 million quality-adjusted life years forgone for USA and UK combined.
