Chances are you already signed up for the obesity course and you didn’t even know it. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention ran a national health and nutrition study and found that more than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7 percent) are obese and almost 19 percent of youth are obese. One of the biggest reasons weight gain has become such a problem is the fact that many people don’t even recognize what obesity is any more. According to a study performed in the North Carolina Children’s Hospital, researchers confirmed previous reports that parents of overweight or obese children do not recognize their child has a weight problem, because being overweight is the new normal.
