Study: Obesity Could Erase Health Care Gains
Reuters: The continuing epidemic of obesity in America could wipe out many of the recent improvements in health within the next 20 years, according to a new U.S. analysis released on Tuesday.
If Americans continue to get fatter at current rates, by 2020 about one in five health-care dollars spent on people aged 50 to 69 could be due to obesity -- 50 percent more than now, the Rand Corporation study found.

I think obesity is a very good topic to be writing about, there needs to be more information to the public about obesity. Even though there are programmes which show people how to diet safely it obviously isn't enough to cut down the obesity rate.
