Obesity among adults in the United States has doubled since 1980, and tripled among adolescents, according to the U.S. surgeon general.

Redefining the definition of "obesity" had something to do with this.

Yes, redefining obesity did change the landscape. Looking back to the 50's, there were very, very few overweight individuals. Two decades later I traveled to France and saw very, very few overweight individuals (and they were probably U.S. tourists). When I returned to the States, the first thing I noticed were the obese. Just an observation...or two.

Isn't that also about the time that the fedgov came out with its high-carb, low-fat pyramid?
