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.

I read the article, but did not see if/where it said we were MORE fatter than the rest of the country...just curious.

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