US people getting fatter, fast
About two-thirds of US adults are obese or overweight
Americans are getting fatter at a rate never seen before, a report shows.
In the past year, the adult obesity rate rose in 48 of America's states, and nationally from 23.7% to 24.5%, Trust for America's Health found.
In 10 states, over a quarter of adults are now obese, despite campaigns alerting people to the dangers of over-eating.
Mississippi, famous for its calorific mud pie, ranked the highest, followed by Alabama and West Virginia.
Crisis point
The non-profit organisation said the situation had reached crisis point and current policies were failing.

Tax policies are failing, defense policies are failing, education policies are failing, religious policies are failing (I've been too mad to post ever since Pat Robertson, on the 700 Club, said we should "take out" the President of Venezuela, one of the bravest world leaders currently living. Just before he said "take out" he used the word "assasinate", though he denies the two were related. Christian leaders calling for murder shows a real weakness in spiritual policy), etc etc. I'm still to angry to say anything coherent. I should avoid the news and listen to music.
