Obesity Is The New Norm


A new Harris Interactive/HealthDay survey found that 30 percent those "overweight" believed they were actually normal size, while 70 percent of those classified as obese felt they were simply overweight. About 60 percent of the morbidly obese classify themselves as obese and the other 39 percent considered themselves merely overweight. Our country is not only getting fatter by the day but we are clueless about what normal weight really is. This is not a good combination.
