Financial Implications of Obesity

About 35% of American adults are obese. Sure, this fact reveals a major health concern, but this article breaks the issue of obesity down from a financial perspective, and it will make us cringe. A study shows that 42% of all Americans could be obese by 2030. But if we level out these obesity rates now, a lump sum of nearly $550 billion could be saved over the next two decades.
