America's Growth Industry

More bad news about Americans' waistlines: They're only going to get bigger.
Already, about a third of people are obese. By 2030, it is estimated 42 percent of the population will be. The latest government data show that obesity is leveling off after big rises in earlier decades. But the new study finds even small continuing rises will add up. Duke University researchers predict that by 2030, 11 percent of people will be severely obese, roughly 100 pounds or more overweight. That's double today's rate.
They say this because they believe it's not their fault.
Patient Non-Compliance is the "cause" of obesity.

I don't believe this prediction for a second.
Nobody wants to be fat and miserable.  
In twenty years it will be well known how doctors created the obesity epidemic by advocating low-fat high-grain diets.
