Wake Up Call


The World Health Organization now ranks the United States as the most obese nation on earth.


The American diet consists of 52% processed foods and 41% meats and dairy products.


Fruits and vegetables--the most healthful foods--make up only 7% of our national diet.


The average American consumes 3600 calories per day, yet the Center for Disease Control estimates that 95% of all Americans are significantly undernourished.


The Center for Disease Control estimates that for the first time in our nation's history, the current generation of children will not live as long as their parents.
