Good news, I guess. Reports claim the obesity rate in the United States may be losing speed, but not by leaps and bounds.
Between 1999 and 2008, experts found no significant increase in obesity among adult women, but it did heighten in men.
The rate went from 27.5% to 32%.
But now, from 2003 to 2008, researchers discovered no rise in obesity rates among men.
Even still, the U.S. has a bunch of problems; 32.2% of Americans are obese.
