    Within the last few years, obesity has become the number one health risk in America. “For the first time ever, overweight people outnumber average people in America. Doesn't that make overweight the average then? Last month you were fat, now you're average - hey, let's get a pizza!” jokes comedian Jay Leno (Jay Leno Quotes). Although he isn’t quite right with his statement, a large percentage of Americans are at least 30 percent over the ideal weight for a certain height. People are getting fatter and fatter because we don’t exercise as much as we used to. Technology has made it easier to do things so we move less. And with a fast food joint everywhere you look it is hard to pass one buy without grabbing a quick, cheap meal. Fast food restaurants also make you think you are getting more bang for your buck by upgrading to a super size for only $.50 more. Obesity is a problem because it causes many health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even strokes. These are all reasons why America is one of the fattest countries in the world.…

    Obesity in America is an ever-growing problem each day. As of 2011, The United States of America has the highest obesity rate of any other country of the world. What is obesity? Obesity is defined as “a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in the body” (Webster).

    So why is it that the U.S. has become so big in the last twenty years? The obvious, almost trivial answer is that we eat too many high-calorie foods and don 't burn them off through exercise ("Adult Obesity Facts."). If only we could change those habits, then this big problem might fade. Clearly, changing these habits isn 't simple. Americans have been eating ‘more often,’ more and more over the years, and its effects are unfortunately catching up to us. Over the last 30 years, the average number of meals has risen from 3.8 to 4.9 per day ("Obesity in America: What 's Driving The Epidemic."). The disproportionate amount of meals that everyone eats has played a huge factor in our nation’s obesity rise ("Obesity In America: What 's Driving The Epidemic." 6).…
