Obesity and overweight adults and children

The latest nationwide study of obesity ranks Colorado first; that is, we are the "skinniest of the increasingly fat." Yet, the combined rate for those obese or overweight here in Colorado is 56%! Colorado's low rate of obesity in this year's report would have made us the fattest state in 1995!

On the other hand, Colorado's rate of growth of childhood obesity is one of the worst in the nation!

C'mon people; what is the problem? Why are we doing this to ourselves?
