I think that's a stretch. Even as people continue to get fatter, I don't think fitness enthusiasts, athletes, marathoners and the like will ever completely disappear. I think (I hope) that no matter how fat people get there will still be people who work to stay healthy. Also, there will probably still be those people like my sister, who live on a steady diet of fast food and microwaved pizza bagels and never exercise, but still weight (grrr) 107 lbs. But that's my opinion. What do you guys think? Will all Americans someday be obese? What do you think about that study’s conclusion that all American adults will be overweight/obese by 2048?

Also, I used to live in the country where I had to drive for going everywhere, including to my gym club. I have moved in town for a few months now and I happily walk much more as almost all I need is at walking distance, including my new gym club. Actually, it's a delight to go there on foot and come back, feeling my body all elastic from the exercises. I think it adds up a lot to the work out session itself and I feel fitter. Funny how things have reversed. I am not the only one noticing that urban life now (depends where you live of course) has gained in quality when in the country, you have the benefits of grass and trees but you seldom make a stop near those as you drive from spot A to spot B. Most modern cities have agreable parks now where you can go walking or jogging. Maybe things will change back again in a few decades...

I know that hindsight is 20/20, but it still amazes me to see how the lifestyle choices we have made in the last 50 years have really come back to bite us on the butt.

I seriously think we have to use the "it takes a village" mentality, as I mentioned in a post yesterday. It's going to take everyone's efforts to turn this thing around.

How about incentives....maybe the health insurance institutions should consider a stronger incentive program geared towards a preventative measure? Local, State or even Federal incentives granted to companies that have fitness programs, activities etc. My two cents anyway.... Nice post! Shocking indeed.

Btw, I love your blog. The name cracks me up. A few of my clients are junkies as well. In fact, one of them was thinking that a t-shirt with fit-bottomed girl on it might inspire her to supercharge her cardio workouts. May be a tad too socialist for the U.S., but if it works…
