Since 1970, Americans have incraesed their caloric intake by 25%. Now up to an average of 2,700 calories every day which translates to extra pounds. This extra weight costs the nation as much as $93 billion more in annual medical bills and taxpayers bear half the cost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzSstcvLmYM&eurl= AWESOME Stop Motion video.
