While the numbers get more and more discouraging every year, it appears the general opinion of the obesity epidemic in this country is similar to the opinion of freeway speeding: almost everyone does it and no one seems to care until it directly impacts their life.
This is particularly hard to fathom since the consequence of speeding is a ticket, versus life-long ailments that can permanently degrade the quality of your life.
