In June 2006, Brigham Young University reported LDS people are much heavier than they once were.1 This has caused concern because increased weight is linked to increases in degenerative disease and also to decreased longevity.

Currently, last reading of stats, the country is about 52-percent obese. I guess we fit in there somewhere. LOL
