A new report shows Americans are getting fatter. According to HealthDay News, more than 30 percent of the people in 12 states are classified as obese. The figures show that over one-third of children and adolescents are overweight. Health spokesman Jeff Levi blames overeating and lack of exercise.
Weighing In
More folks, it seems, are pigging out;
And that has health folks wigging out.
They’re seeking ways to make us cease
What’s making more of us obese.
Folks who keep the stats have found,
The nation’s getting bigger round.
The latest stat among the chatter
Shows our kids are getting fatter.
Health folks suggest a workout gig
And curtailing eating like a pig.
