That's 337 million people. There are only 323 million people in America. Something's wrong here.
"Obese" and 'overweight" are different classifications.
Blurtman says"Obese" and 'overweight" are different classifications.
That does not explain how the total of obese or overweight is more than the total number of Americans.

Probably children of Republican voters.

Perhaps there is overlap and many are both overweight and obese, hence you don't add the numbers.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/10/health/child-adolescent-obesity-global-increase/index.htmlThe number of obese children and adolescents rose to 124 million in 2016 -- more than 10 times higher than the 11 million classified as obese 40 years ago, in 1975.
A further 213 million children and adolescents were overweight in 2016, finds a new study published Tuesday
Um, since this is a Lancet report is from the UK, why would you infer they are talking about "America". From the CNN website: "A new report finds 124 million children around the world were obese in 2016"
Notice the words "around the world".
There's those issues with your reading comprehension again.
My favorite program.

I keep wondering. Do the massively obese need some kind of special toilet? They must shit like a horse, and plug up the toilet.
Not being sarcastic, just curious.

But hey, fuck those fat bastards, haha, let them die, 'cause I'm immune to every lie that kills hahaha.
You fucking dumb ass pricks!
Many investors and speculators put money into the junk food industry because it always returns a profit.
Think of the misery and death these products cause.
You need to do better than to wish death on the poor people who seem to be the ones who somehow end up eating the poor food choices.
Capitalists cast blame and curse the victims of their deadly slave traps because these people do not have a voice to fight back against the injustice and the blood money keeps flowing. --yeah really this is happening in so many different ways.
Open eyes!
Oh yeah, those mean capitalists sold junk food to the poor at gunpoint. The poor just had no choice but to buy a ton of junk food. All they wanted to buy were apples and oranges.

You say that as if some apes couldn't be tricked into eating something that taste good - and pay for it.
And as if it's ok morally to do it.
The reality is that poor people eat poor food, they have poor access to good food and many are poorly informed too and live under generational poverty because poverty is a fucking trap.
Fucking homeless people wind up paying outrageous prices for just about everything they need ESPECIALLY their meager housing.
Working 2 or 3 crap jobs the poor end up eating cheap and convenient food too much, the portions are typically unhealthful for competitive reasons too. Less access to personal transportation really screws up people's available choices too. And the pricey stores of course are not located in the poorer areas, more like "Food For Less" stores and "Savalot."
Good food is on the pricey side, higher end neighborhoods tend to be very aware of healthy choices for some reason and they tend to prepare better food too and is best prepared at home but when you're working your ass off for poot and going to Trump U, because they needed hope and believed the fat prick, poor typically do not choose to spend their time cooking and cleaning up often enough.
It's just astounding the influence tobacco and alcohol had on television and everything back then. They show every desirable person/model in every enviable situation using their poison as if it were the ticket to heaven on earth.
After Americans got the class action suits going the heavy advertising promotions went overseas, again exploiting any weaknesses they encounter, and now, for example, you have first graders in Indonesia addicted to smoking cigarettes.
every single episode portrays tobacco and alcohol consumption as a normal and even preferred mode of social interaction among fashionable people.Those shows were an accurate portrayal of American life (and probably European as well) then. I have a photograph taken in the Heidelberg Room of the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas in 1948 where my parents were celebrating their 25th anniversary--there are four people in the frame, my parents and a younger couple at another table--both the man and woman at the other table and my father are smoking--he would die of lung cancer in ten years at only 59. Probably 75% of the people in that restaurant were smoking, too. I sat in a Cadillac showroom in 1963 talking to a lady probably about 50 while she awaited delivery of the brand new Coupe de Ville on the showroom floor. I asked her how often she traded and she said "honey, whenever the ashtrays get full!". I could only imagine what her trade-ins smelled like and wondered how many more years she would trade in her Cadillacs.
jazz_music saysGood food is on the pricey side,
Have you ever been behind a EBT shopper and see what they're buying for "food" on your dime?? It's total crap and processed food. It's THEIR choice to buy that crap.
They could by real fresh food and cook for less than half the price and make their EBT amount last a lot longer. Will they do that? Hell no?
Racial and ethnic disparities in weight are already apparent by age two, with black and Hispanics more likely to have obesity than whites -- yet another trend that persists into adulthood.
Strategist saysYou have to take responsibility for your own actions. Same goes for alcohol, smoking,
Those are good examples.
I watch 1950's B&W episodes they have on this one cable channel. The really great ones like Alfred Hitchcock, Perry Mason, 77 Sunset Strip, Peter Gunn AND EVERY SINGLE SCENE of every single episode portrays tobacco and alcohol consumption as a normal and even preferred mode of social interaction among fashionable people.

A further 213 million children and adolescents were overweight in 2016, finds a new study published Tuesday in the Lancet.
Looking at the broader picture, this equated to roughly 5.6% of girls and 7.8% of boys being obese last year.
Most countries within the Pacific Islands, including the Cook Islands and Nauru, had the highest rates globally, with more than 30% of their youth ages 5 to 19 estimated to be obese.
The United States and some countries in the Caribbean, such as Puerto Rico, as well as the Middle East, including Kuwait and Qatar, came next with levels of obesity above 20% for the same age group, according to the new data, visualized by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration.
"Over the past four decades, obesity rates in children and adolescents have soared globally, and continue to do so in low- and middle-income countries," said Majid Ezzati, professor of global environmental health at Imperial College London in the UK, who led the research.
"More recently, they have plateaued in higher-income countries, although obesity levels remain unacceptably high," he said.
Over the same time period, the rise in obesity has particularly accelerated in East and South Asia.
"We now have children who are gaining weight when they are 5 years old," unlike children at the same age two generations ago, Ezzati told CNN.
In the largest study of its kind, more than 1,000 researchers collaborated to analyze weight and height data for almost 130 million people, including more than 31 million people 5 to 19 years old, to identify obesity trends from 1975 to 2016.
"Rates of child and adolescent obesity are accelerating in East, South and Southeast Asia, and continue to increase in other low and middle-income regions," said James Bentham, a statistician at the University of Kent, who co-authored the paper.
Obesity in adults is defined using a person's body mass index, the ratio between weight and height. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is classified as a healthy weight, 25 to 29.9 considered overweight and 30 and over obese. Cut-offs are lower among children and adolescents and vary based on age.
"While average BMI among children and adolescents has recently plateaued in Europe and North America, this is not an excuse for complacency as more than one in five young people in the U,S. and one in 10 in the UK are obese," he said.
