Why is it important?

Obesity is an epidemic, claiming an estimated 300,000 deaths and costing the United States about $117 billion each year. More than 61% of Wisconsinites are obese or overweight. It's time to change the health of our great state. Minimal adjustments in diet and daily exercise can result in enough weight loss to reduce the risk factors for diseases stemming from obesity, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and others certain types of cancer. A healthier Wisconsin means a better Wisconsin.
