You’ve heard the reports, seen the headlines and even figured out which states weigh the most. There’s definitely a growing trend among American (and UK) waistlines, but that exposition poses a great question: Are the claims talking about an obesity epidemic being exaggerated?

The British Medical Journal thinks so. Researchers argue that these claims are blown out of proportion in order to send an urgent notice about health. Evidence linking mortality and body mass index draw random connections, they say, in regards to how we label humans who are “obese.” humans can look at various reports, statistics and numbers to debate that issue all day. In the end, however, it boils down to what public are doing to

curb that “epidemic” and whether or not we as a society are buying into the claim.

This type of question requires a personal stance too: Do you think the “obesity epidemic” is being exaggerated?
