America’s obesity problem isn’t exactly a secret. It’s a well-established reality that has widespread public health consequences, including the prevalence of chronic health problems such as diabetes and certain cancers.
But a new report from Trust for America’s Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation breaks down the most recently available obesity statistics, based on Centres for Disease Control (CDC) data, on a state-wide, and sobering, basis, finding that seven US states have adult obesity rates that exceed 35%.
The CDC says that this public health crisis isn’t just widespread-it’s expensive. “The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147 billion in 2008; the medical cost for people who have obesity was $1,429 higher than those of normal weight,” according to the agency.
But obesity is also a particularly difficult problem to solve given its disproportionate effect on racial minorities and poorer Americans. What’s clear is that the problem is rampant, pricey, and a tough issue to fix.
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
3. What does the new report find about America’s obesity problem?
4. What does the CDC say about America’s obesity problem?

C、The medical cost of obesity was $1,429 higher than last year.
