MORE ON THE BOOK . . .
The Standard American Diet has turned us into the fattest, and one of the most unhealthy nations in the world virtually overnight. The rate of obesity among children has doubled in only 20 years and over 64.5% of the adult population is now overweight.
Diabetes has increased by a shocking 70% among those 30-39, and by 33% for the population overall in just eight years, from 1990-1998. This debilitating disease has officially reached epidemic proportions.
Chronic disease in general – preventable chronic disease – plagues over 70% of adults nationwide. And that’s not to mention the less threatening, albeit equally as menacing ailments people experience as a result of poor eating habits, such as digestive disturbances, lowered immune function, arthritis, sinusitis, fatigue -- and more.
In short, the overwhelming majority of Americans today are sick, tired or overweight. Whether they are aware of the national scope of things or not, millions are aware of their own expanding waistlines and eroding health, and that of their loved ones.
