From Weight of the Nation’s Twitter account:
Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the country.
Argh.
I’m still looking forward to watching HBO’s Weight of the Nation series and have downloaded the Kindle book.
But color me disappointed too. You’d think that since they also recognize that “most of us don’t have to lose fifty pounds to start seeing real improvements to our health” that perhaps it’s not about our weight but about something else.
