In a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it was found that more than 50 percent of adults are overweight and about 20 percent are obese. Imagine 20 years in the future. Do you think this trend will get worse or will it reverse in 20 years? Will there be more or fewer overweight and obese Americans by then? Explain why you think so.
