I read this article in Forbes about how obesity has affected the United States economy due to immense medical costs. According to the article, about 9% of the national medical bill comes from obesity-related diseases. The article also listed other ways in which obese people affect the nation�s economy. It also reported that employers have started to pay employees to lose weight The facts may be true but the problem is a more complex one which involves a complete overhaul of a people�s psyche that has been manipulated through the years.
