> "adult obesity rates now exceed 35% in nine states, 30% in 31 states and 25% in 48 states." The source for the above data is a telephone survey for the CDC. The NCHS regularly conducts a survey on the same subject for the same CDC, but with added physical examinations. Their data is much worse, over 39.5 % of USA adults were obese in 2016. The rate was almost constantly increasing over the past years. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db288.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db288.pdf p.5
