Adult Obesity Facts
Obesity Prevalence Maps
Adult obesity prevalence by state and territory using self-reported information from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Obesity is a common, serious, and costly disease
From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –2018, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 42.4%. During the same time, the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%.
Obesity-related conditionsexternal icon include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. These are among the leading causes of preventable, premature death.
The estimated annual medical cost of obesityexternal icon in the United States was $147 billion in 2008. Medical costs for people who had obesity was $1,429 higher than medical costs for people with healthy weight.
Obesity affects some groups more than others

Non-Hispanic Black adults (49.6%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity, followed by Hispanic adults (44.8%), non-Hispanic White adults (42.2%) and non-Hispanic Asian adults (17.4%).
The obesity prevalence was 40.0% among adults aged 20 to 39 years, 44.8% among adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 42.8% among adults aged 60 and older.
Obesity and socioeconomic status

The association between obesity and income or educational level is complex and differs by sex and race/ethnicity.

The association between obesity and income or educational level is complex and differs by sex and race/ethnicity.
Overall, men and women with college degrees had lower obesity prevalence compared with those with less education.
The same obesity and education pattern occurred among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic women, and non-Hispanic White men. However, the differences were not all statistically significant. Although the difference was not statistically significant among non-Hispanic Black men, obesity prevalence increased with educational attainment.
No differences in obesity prevalence by education level were noted among non-Hispanic Asian women and men and Hispanic men.
Among men, obesity prevalence was lower in the lowest and highest income groups compared with the middle-income group. Researchers observed this pattern among non-Hispanic White and Hispanic men. Obesity prevalence was higher in the highest income group than in the lowest income group among non-Hispanic Black men.
Among women, obesity prevalence was lower in the highest income group than in the middle and lowest income groups. Researchers observed this pattern among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic women. Among non-Hispanic Black women, there was no difference in obesity prevalence by income.
AMERICA: Living Off the Government
However, under the Biden Administration and the new Progressive Democrats, our Federal Government has put itself in a position of attempting to arrange as many Americans as possible to start living off the government with:
- unemployment benefits
- healthcare benefits
- food stamp benefits
- education benefits
- housing benefits
And... the biggest problem that all of this spending has created in not just inflation but an increase in the National Debt and a DEVALUATION of the American Dollar... while at the same time CHINA is putting pressure on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to change the international currency of trade from the US Dollar to the Chinese YUAN...
The Democratic THEORY is that the WEALTHY AMERICANS are going to be paying for this... Most of the Democrats are themselves WEALHY... do you really believe that they are going to increase taxes on THEMSELVES???
If you think they wealthy will pay... then, I wonder what you will want to do when you realize that you were WRONG...
Taliban Law
CNN, who failed to mention the disappearance of the Taliban and ISIS under President Trump’s leadership, sent a female correspondent to Afghanistan where she embedded herself with the Taliban to report back, apparently, on the Islamic terror group’s future humanitarian efforts.
CNN is so deep into pushing the radical Democrat Party agenda they don’t even see how foolish their repulsive propaganda appears to the everyday American.
In what can only be described as an either incredibly stupid or utterly naive moment, CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward, who is dressed from head to toe in a black burqa and headscarf, actually asked a Taliban leader in Afghanistan about the terror group’s plans to protect women’s rights, now that they’ve re-established control of most of Afghanistan (only 9 months into the Biden regime’s takeover of the White House).
Watch the incredible moment at the 4:24 mark: “A lot of people are concerned that if the Taliban takes power again, women’s rights will move backwards. How can you guarantee that women’s rights will be protected?” CNN’s Clarissa Ward asks. READ MORE
Milky Way Streaking
It's also made of completely different star stuff, mostly heavy, "metallic" atoms rather than the usual light elements.
LP 40-365, as it was called, was as eye-catching as a wooden car barreling up the interstate against traffic at hundreds of miles per hour.
"It is exceptionally weird in a lot of different ways," said study lead author J.J. Hermes, an astronomer at Boston University.
The star moves so quickly that it's headed out of our galaxy for good, which astronomers have taken as evidence that the metallic explorer was launched here by a cosmic catastrophe — a supernova.
"It is exceptionally weird in a lot of different ways," said study lead author J.J. Hermes, an astronomer at Boston University.
The star moves so quickly that it's headed out of our galaxy for good, which astronomers have taken as evidence that the metallic explorer was launched here by a cosmic catastrophe — a supernova.
But they couldn't tell how the supernova had sent it flying. Was LP 40-365 a piece of the exploded star itself? Or was it a partner star flung clear by the shockwave associated with star explosions?
A new analysis of old data finds that the star — called a white dwarf — spins about its axis at a leisurely pace — a hint that it is indeed a piece of stellar debris (not a partner star) that managed to survive one of the galaxy's most violent and mysterious events.
"We can now connect this star to the shrapnel from an exploded white dwarf with a lot more confidence," said Hermes. READ MORE

Quantum Physics and Consciousness
One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established.
In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, physicist Roger Penrose teamed up with anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff to propose an ambitious answer.
They claimed that the brain’s neuronal system forms an intricate network and that the consciousness this produces should obey the rules of quantum mechanics – the theory that determines how tiny particles like electrons move around.

This, they argue, could explain the mysterious complexity of human consciousness.
Penrose and Hameroff were met with incredulity. Quantum mechanical laws are usually only found to apply at very low temperatures.
Penrose and Hameroff were met with incredulity. Quantum mechanical laws are usually only found to apply at very low temperatures.
Quantum computers, for example, currently operate at around -272°C. At higher temperatures, classical mechanics takes over. Since our body works at room temperature, you would expect it to be governed by the classical laws of physics.
For this reason, the quantum consciousness theory has been dismissed outright by many scientists – though others are persuaded supporters.
Instead of entering into this debate, I decided to join forces with colleagues from China, led by Professor Xian-Min Jin at Shanghai Jiaotong University, to test some of the principles underpinning the quantum theory of consciousness. READ MORE

I say this because East TN like all other areas of Tennessee as well as every other State in the USA is not immune from the politics of our global world and its environment...
Every month, I calculate my finances to make sure that there will be sufficient monies available to my wife and I until we both live until 95/96 years of age... and, so far, we have sufficient funds but like everything else that could change in a heartbeat as inflation grows...
Maybe that is why they do not have any problems with illegal immigration...
In my little world here in East TN, I am blind (as long as I want to be) to the rest of the world and can continue to live my life as I am currently living it, without the slightest concerns for what happens in the rest of the world...
- Afghanistan does not really bother me
- The Olympics does not really bother me
- Socialism does not really bother me
- Defunding police does not really bother me
- CRT theory does not really bother me
- Racism does not really bother me
- A divided America does not really bother me
- A growing CHINA does not really bother me
- Islam wanting to control the world does not really bother me
- My dysfunctiuonal family does not really bother me
- An increase in violence does not really bother me
I am annoyed by my Cable Company who continues to provide piss poor service while raising their rates, but I have found alternatives and will be done with CABLE by the end of this month.
Time is illusive and on-going and always moves forward... getting old is inevitable... and once at an older age, one can always change their minds and their viewpoints but by then it is almost too late to influence the rest of the world... which is why one has no choice but to accept it.
Life in East TN will always be juxtaposed with the rest of the world... one will never be alone...
