Could a health "Doomsday Clock" strike midnight soon?

Currently, nearly 70% of the American Population is overweight, obese or morbidly obese. Statistical analysis of the current Obesity Epidemic predicts that 70% of the American population will be obese by 2012. Many medical and health experts agree that 80% of all health care related expenses in the USA are directly related to the poor lifestyle choices that Americans make. If this trend continues the result will be far more devastating for society. 70% of populations obese will place an untenable burden on not only our health-care system, but on society as a whole. Couple this number with a recent report from New York City that 50% of New York's school age children will be obese by 2012 and anyone that has even a modicum of understanding of developmental physiology can predict that 50% of our nations's children will suffer debilitating diseases far to early in life, so early in fact, that they will never achieve their mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, artistic, or financial potential.
