Rising U.S. Obesity Rates Begin to Level Off

Greetings from MobileGenerated News®  MoGN!

Americans seem to be exercising more and the obesity rate seems to be stabilizing.  The people of other countries around the world are getting fatter.

Mexico is now the world’s fattest country.  The blame, according to nutrition experts, is the popularity of sodas filled with sugar.  The people of Mexico drink an average of 43 gallons per year of soft-drinks.  Also, Globalization has caused the proliferation of Fast Food which traditionally is high in fat content.

The United States has plateaued because of highly publicized anti-obesity campaigns and in particular, First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts.

So maybe New York Mayor Bloomberg’s idea of limiting Super-Size Sodas wasn’t such a bad idea, after all?

What do you think?  I look forward to your comments.
