6. Health Impact “Approximately two thirds of U.S. adults and one fifth of U.S. children are obese or overweight. Being either obese or overweight increases the risk for many chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and stroke). Reversing the U.S. obesity epidemic requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach that uses policy and environmental change to transform communities into places that support and promote healthy lifestyle choices for all U.S. residents”. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5807a1.htm http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5807a1.htm

7. Health Impact The magnitude of the epidemic means that everyone has a role to play in its reversal, especially because the solution requires policy and environmental changes on many levels.
