Americans need to understand that obesity means more than having to shop at stores that provide plus sizes. I recently published a book on cancer prevention with my brother and we posed the question. Why, when we spend 25 percent more on health care than any other country on the planet do we not make the top 40 in life expectancy? It is not because we are smoking more (although we know clearly that smoking causes cancer). We smoke less than they do in Japan, Greece, Norway, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Ireland, the U.K., France, new Zealand, Germany, italy, Finland, Canada, and Australia, but all of these countries have a longer life expectancy than we do. Why? We are more obese. Obesity is responsible for 20 of cancer deaths in women, and 14 percent of cancer deaths in men in the U.S. Can we do something about it? Yes! Look at the attack we have made on smoking. We need U.S. citizens to become enraged that our life expectancy is not longer with the amount we spend on health care. We need to cry that it is now predicted that we are expected to live LONGER than our children due to obesity. Perhaps the fast food industry needs to follow the Philip Morris example.
