Well, companies are starting to produce foods with more vitamins and minerals in them, there are a lot of foods out there, like cereal, that are trying to add things to make eating their product a little healthier!. Macaroni and cheese, cereals, even snack foods are getting calcium, vitamins, and minerals added into them!. Fast food companies are including a healthy, low carb menu for people as well, like Subway and Taco Bell!. However, obesity is still a major problem in the U!.S!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Although there is a general effort to encourage people to lose weight and increase their healthy activities I doubt it is working!. The culture of fast food and pre-packaged meals is so great here that no one is getting the message en masse!. Add to that the economic difficulties we are facing and you have a really bad situation since we all know that fatty comfort foods make your head feel better!. Additionally, good quality foods are very expensive so people are opting for the lower quality foods which often translates to fat!. I think the statistics would show that obesity is on the rise in the US!. The statistics from 2003-2004 show a steady increase in both obesity and BMI!. There are not alot of comparative analyses available that are more current - it seems that the number crunching takes time so there is always a lag!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm guessing this is homework or school assignment!.

The government is doing nada!. Among the population some are becoming super healthy, but the wide majority are super unhealthy, and that segment is growing much faster than the former!. In a decade or two 80% of Americans could be obese if it doesn't slow down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know at my company, they've started a wellness program!. They want us to be healthy for our benefits and theirs!. So, they paid to put a gym at our location - which consists of free weights, a treadmill, a bike, etc!.!.!. And, with their program, they'll pay half of your gym fees should you choose to join one!. They are also doing walking programs and compete between departments for our area!. They are actually kind of fun!.

As for my house!.!.!. I'm getting up at 4:45 A!.M!. to work out before work!. And then I hit the trail on Saturday mornings that is near my house!. I am trying to cook healthier and not have all the junk in our house!. I like that my kids have these slender little gymnastic type bodies and I want them to keep them that way!. :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
