Yeah but, um, we could all be underweight too.
I’d love to get paid to predict all those things that we COULD be...

Does that mean that all U.S. adults could NOT be overweight in 40 Years?

I think it will be 110% of the population. I hate when people project growth, it is just stupid.

Broader social changes are needed as well, she said -- such as making communities more pedestrian-friendly so that people can walk regularly, or getting the food industry to offer healthier, calorie-conscious choices.
Another excuse to advance the socialist cause with more regulation. Note they don't provide their definition of overweight.
Fortunately I'll never become an adult.

I will be 108 years old in 40 years. Doubt if I’ll be overweight then.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2057569/posts I saw the hottest chick in my high school at my last class reunion. She was almost as wide as she was tall.
When she was a teenager, she was absolutely smokin'. Wouldn't give me the time of day; I think she ran with wealthy college-age guys.
Now all her power is gone.

It appears that those 3 or 4 people walking in front of them are of normal weight....you just can’t see them too well...like an eclipse.

This is sooooo stupid. All you got to do is say that a health weight is 240 pounds. Now most people are UNDERWEIGHT. See how simple that was?

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final
word on nutrition and health:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer
heart attacks than us.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you. But don’t worry, your Government is trying to correct this
problem.

OK, then if we all inflate our tires to the proper pressure and lose weight we won’t need to drill for more oil.

"could be" overweight...
This is yet another example of something that hasn't even happened being turned into news.
Here's another one:

President Obama will call for mandatory liposuction, using the fat collected as a source for biofuel.
“We can break our oil dependency using cellulite, and never have to drill like the evil Republicans want!”

Considering ideal weight is a contrived number, derived partly from averaging, it would be impossible for 100% to be overweight.
Now, if they don't want to be PC and say it like it is, they are saying 100% will be carrying too much fat.

It doesn’t hurt that they changed the definition of “obesity” a few years ago.

Yeah, and if the temperature trend from January to August of this year in North Dakota continues, the average temperature on Earth will be 5000 degrees Fahrenheit by March of 2015.
