"Two hundred million Americans are overweight and 100 million are obese. More than 75 million Americans have high blood pressure. 24 million people are diabetic. Heart disease remains the No. 1 cause of death for men and women, followed by stroke and obesity-related cancers. Obesity has overtaken tobacco as the No. 1 cause of preventable deaths in the United States.Over 50% of bankruptcies are caused by what has become known as "medical debt." Fast food, fast medicine, fast news and fast lives have turned many Americans into a sick, uninformed, indebted, "processed" people"--Film website. |
