The purpose of these reports over the years was to set
obtainable goals to prevent disease and improve Americans' quality
of life. One of the goals that were not obtained, until now, is
reducing the proportion of obese adults in the US. In 2008, about
34% of Americans were considered obese with a goal of reducing the
proportion of obesity to about 31% by the year 2020. However, a
recent report from 2016 demonstrated that the proportion of obesity
among adult Americans across the US grow to about 39% (see table
1.4). In your opinion, 1) why the proportion of obese adults across
the US grew in the last few years? and 2) what do we need to do, as
a nation, to reverse the trend?
