Americans are continuing to get fatter. Obesity rates reached 30 percent or more in nine states last year, as opposed to only three states in 2007.
The increases mean that 2.4 million more people became obese from 2007 to 2009. This brings the total to 72.5 million, or 26.7 percent of the population.
