Apparently, it show that when it comes to weight, there is no shrinkage. Some state may be holding steady but the major seem to be growing. For the report,  400,000 American adults provided information about their height and weight which was used to calculate their body mass index (BMI). Weighing up all the information, the CDC has determined that ‘the proportion of U.S. adults who are obese increased to 26.1 percent in 2008 compared to 25.6 percent in 2007.’ According to the CDC press release  “In six states – Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia – adult obesity prevalence was 30 percent or more.

Over thirty percent of its population is considered obese. Adults aren’t the only ones gaining weight, either. Forty-four percent of children, ages 10-17, are considered obese as well. The state is well aware of its problem with obese residents, especially children, and is taking steps to correct the problem. School children are being exposed to lower fat foods and more exercise each day. Experts feel that with the struggling economy, healthy foods might be harder to come by for some families, making the problem of obesity even worse. Image: sxc.hu.

Dr. Robyn McMaster and I just flew in from another electric session with innovative leaders who use hidden brainpower to create solutions that work … against a background of challenges. The trip home was far from innovative or brainy though. It seemed NorthWest hired a craft from matchbox toys … so we were told no carry on bags would be allowed. A small purse squeaked in … but computer bags were fed to this airplane’s belly during flight. Attendants appeared unmoved by the man next to us … who told how his carry on bag was stolen from their fodder a week earlier. Our flight – left late … as paying passengers molded human shapes into sardine sizes to fit shrunken seats.  A plastic cup of water came ju...

Schools will now be requiring 150 hours of gym class each week, which equals out to 30 minutes a day, for K-8 students. They'll also require 30 minutes per week of health education and are cleaning the junk food out of their vending machines. The hope is that students will take their new habits home with them; if they don't, Mississi...
