The document discusses obesity in America. It states that over 60% of Americans are obese, which is largely due to a lack of exercise. Obesity can cause health issues like diabetes and heart disease as well as social problems like low self-esteem. While exercise and eating fewer calories are key to weight loss, many Americans do not exercise regularly or know how to do so properly. The high rates of obesity in the U.S. are a major public health concern.
