The July 7, 2011 report from Reuters reported that the number of obese adults in the U.S. rose in 16 states. According to this report, the obesity rate is above 30 percent in a dozen states. Americans are eating less nutritious food and
more of it, while exercising less. Childhood obesity rates have skyrocketed.
Nourishing NYC‘s the Plant to Plate Chefs is a culinary arts and agriculture
