The following quotation from a 1992 National Institute of Health Conference helps to define the issue of obesity and the problems associated with weight loss in the United States.
A health paradox exists in
modern America. On one hand,
many people who do not need to
lose weight are trying to. On the
other hand, most who do need to
lose weight are not succeeding.
