In an article about semaglutide (Wegovy) the author mentioned that 42% of Americans are obese - to me that's not only unbelievable but it has massive implications for general health in the US. Being obese has massive adverse health implications.
Indeed - rates in Europe are also rising but nothing like so fast!
At the current rate, more than half the US population will be obese within a very few years - scary!

Alarming that the rate is rising so obviously, in 2016 NHANES statistics showed that 39.6% of American adults were obese.
