More than 40 percent of American adults have obesity

One does not "have obesity", one is obese. It is a symptom or a condition, not a disease in and of itself. Doctors want to find the cure for the disease when they should be trying to understand the factors causing the condition. I tell people I got my Dad's side of the family, they're all big dudes!

I’m surprised they didn’t write “experiencing obesity”. You know, as if bloating up like the Michelin tire man just sort of falls out of the sky. Could happen to anybody!

Nutrition info generally is often full of weasel words and phrases, I’ve noticed.
