Obesity in the US

Obesity in the US keeps growing larger and larger each year. This year about 4% to 6% of children and teens are severely obese. Young children are starting to get type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, sleep apnea, musculoskeletal problems, and early signs of clogged arteries. This has not been a big problems in the 90's and now the obesity in the country is a common thing. Fast food industries are starting to really target kids now days which is a big problem because it makes them want to go there and their kids down the line will see what their parents do which will just be a chain of obesity. The American Heart Association are trying to save these kids, but it is slowly getting out of control.
