The Crisis - The number one health crisis facing all Americans is being overweight. Two out of every three adults (66%) today are considered to be overweight, or even worse, obese. Even more troubling, 17% of all children in the U.S. are now overweight.

Our teenagers are developing Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and in some cases, early signs of heart disease. This decline in our youths' health can be attributed to poor diet, lack of exercise, and inadequate medical guidance.
