21 Billion in lost productivity, what a bull shit stat. I say obesity gets the state of Ca. 40 billion in more food eaten, more people buying clothes as their size increase. Over all obesity has been a financial blessing for Ca.

Study: Obesity costs California $21.7 billion cnn.com; I can't believe that CA is getting bad too. I will never understand how people can overeat in a hot climate. Three years ago, I was visiting my German friends in Chicago. We were going to a movie and stopped at a Chili's. First, we were blown away by how fat everyone was. I would say every second person was seriously overweight. Secondly, the portions were gigantic. I could not believe the quantity of food. Its like we had come to a restaurant that serves only giants. The article cites people over 25 but the truth is people under 20 are doing no better. I don't get it. Is everyone having a fat attack? ted
