At least one report about the federally funded study predicting obesity rates 20 years out tells us how they did it:they plugged in all sorts of un-knowable numbers, such how many fast food establishments there will be in 20 years (and how many calories people will eat in them as part of an overall diet?)



So by then it’ll be the new norm and the problem (if there ever was one) is solved. History repeats itself again.
CORRECTION: “42 percent of remaining U.S. adults will be obese”
