This article is from November. Why bring this up now?

Anwyays,

> After decades of increases, obesity rates do seem to be flattening out.

> And another note of optimism: The CDC finds childhood obesity has leveled off. In many states, as we've reported, obesity rates are falling among preschool-aged kids.

Good. Maybe in a few years we'll see a drop?

> Across all adult age groups, about 38 percent of women are obese, while 34 percent of men were obese.

4% seems like a pretty small gap.

> And, the divide becomes even greater for some women of color. The obesity rate among African-American women is 57 percent and 46 percent among Hispanic women.

I'm assuming that Asians were the exception? Is it because of genetics? Or income-level?
