Obesity: Normalization of obesity? Obesity is killing this country. It is the #2 preventable cause of death behind smoking and will likely become #1 soon. The life expectancy in the us has hit a plateau and is projected to go down for the first time in 100 years because of obesity. So, obesity is an epidemic that and there shouldn't be any normalization of this problem.
