Over the past year the rate in obesity did not decrease in any state of the US. The child obesity rate is now at and above 30 percent in 30 states.
These stats are from the sixth annual F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2009 report, released July 1, by the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Contained within the report are recommendations for combating obesity within health reform and a state-by—state look into the child obesity rate, as well as, adults.
