The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, as well as the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, found that an estimated 66 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. The Surgeon General reports the costs of obesity to be in the billions. Obesity leads to numerous health problems such as hypertension, high cholesterol, Type II diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease, joint pain and stroke to name a few.
