U.S. obesity rate to hit 42 percent by 2030: study

English.news.cn 2012-05-08…

(Xinhua) — Almost 42 percent of the U.S. population could be obese by 2030, according to a study released Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) .

The findings suggest the U.S. healthcare system could be burdened with 32 million more obese people within two decades. Action is needed to keep rates from increasing further, said researchers from Duke University, RTI International and the CDC.

By the most current obesity statistics, 35.7 percent of American adults — 78 million people — and 16.9 percent of U.S. children and adolescents — 12.5 million kids — are obese, meaning their body-mass index is 30 or over.

Now the above is basically the official obesity rate. If measured differently, it is about 60% already (see Obesity rates probably a lot higher than thought).

Obesity is a major problem in the USA and will likely be a major factor in its demise. And while it is remotely possible, I doubt that the USA will make it until 2030 based upon its debt, direction, and warnings contained within Bible prophecy.

The end of the USA and its Anglo-descended allies is coming. There is no prophecy in scripture that I believe even hints that a country like the current USA will exist after the King of the North succeeds (cf. Daniel 11:39, which seems to be the only reference to the USA in that chapter, and shows its conquering and division; see also Why is there no End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy?).

National repentance, which does not seem likely at this stage, is the only hope. But individuals themselves can turn to God. And although obesity is a multi-factorial problem, all who are overweight, even the irreligious, can try to eat less and make better food choices.
