The most obese state in the United States is Mississippi.

Over the years Mississippi has developed the highest rate of obesity,

with the percentage of adults being obese is 34.4%. The rise in population

over the years has increased the percentage of obesity in the country

especially Mississippi. This also maybe a result of the cultural differences

 in food that they consume. The food is less nutritious due to more processing in the factories.

Our nation's obesity rate has held steady at more than 30% percent.

Percentages in countries like Korea and Japan are only at 4%.

However, compared to other countries, Mexico actually has a higher obesity rate than United States.

Child obesity has remain stabilized in England, France, Korea and United States but the rate of obese children is still high in those countries.

Denmark, France, Finland and Hungary are attempting to put taxes on fat and sugar to lower the obesity rates.

The OECD are working on ways of trying to lower the obesity rate.

Physical education is needed in school. Only about half of U.S. children meet the governments physical activity standards, with out required physical education, some children might ignore physical activity completely. Physical education classes help children with good exercise habits, which is good in the long run because it results in healthier lifestyles. Healthy exercise can help prevent obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. Positives changes occur with good exercise habits. Children who have healthy exercise habits are more likely to exercise during adulthood. Physical education classes require students to participate in physical activity. Physical education is important to you're health and well-being.   

 

 

Physical Education is not more than forty minutes 

because there is not enough time in a school day.  Due to all the other requirements the class is not as long as it should be. 

Initially children should be engaging in physical activity at least sixty minutes a day.  Despite the fact that there are many health benefits to physical activity people are becoming less motivated to lead a healthy life.  These are some of the reasons why the obesity rate is increasing.

What is the percentage of obesity in the United States?
