Last week, Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released their 11th annual report of annual rates and rankings of adult obesity,The

the report features obesity rate trends by region, age, gender, education and income, and a feature on obesity in early childhood. It also reviews existing policies and issues high-priority recommendations for making affordable healthy foods and safe places
