PoliceLogs A not-too-long ago study presented to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion's (CDC) Weight of the Nation conference projects that if Americans keep get- ting heavier at the cur- rent rate, 42 percent of us will be obese by 2030. That means, in fewer than 15 years, we will be sharing our country with an ad- ditional 32 million obese Americans, causing us to pony up a whopping $549.5 billion — over half a trillion dollars — in med- ical expenditures between now and then. For comparison, the obesity rate has been hov- ering at an already-alarm- ing 36 percent, or about 78 million adults, for the last decade. The projected in- crease will swell the ranks of the obese (no pun in- tended) to north of 100 million. In addition, the severely obese — about 100 pounds over healthy weight — will more than double from its current five percent to 11 percent. We know obese folks are at greater risk for a multi- tude of weight-related dis- eases such as Type 2 diabe- tes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea and even can- cer. Obviously, they there- fore will account for a greater proportion of med- ical costs. "They also have a much shorter life expec- tancy and generate greater lifetime medical costs, sug- gesting that future health care costs may continue to increase even if obesity prevalence levels off," the study's authors say. There is a minor bright spot, albeit more a dim bulb than a spotlight. Re- searchers discovered that although obesity is in- creasing, it's increas- ing at a decreasing rate. (You take your good news where you find it.) Unhap- pily, the data did not in- clude children, so, on the other hand, these esti- mates might be low, as obese kids typically be- come obese grown-ups. Forty-two percent is (ob- viously) almost half the population. Therefore, moving it from macro to micro, if you're in a room with only one other per- son; either you or he will be — or is currently — obese. If not you, it's your sister, your husband, your child, your best friend, your parent, or most likely, several people you care about. Obesity affects not only the afflicted, but also every soul who loves, or interacts with, someone who's obese — and, for bet- ter or worse, that's every solitary, single one of us. I am not writing this to make us aware of a prob- lem of which we previously were ignorant. Rather, I am concerned about the "fat wars" appearing to be more prevalent as this problem continues. Sadly, there is a "we" versus "them" mentality in the battle against obesity. I've heard commenta- tors, cohorts, and colum- nists define the obese in harsh and snide terms: lazy, sloppy, or as un- caring louts only drain- ing our collective health care. Certainly, with a per- centage of them, there might be an element of truth. Yet, it's equally fac- tual that those descrip- tors would also apply to a percentage of thin people, young people, tall people, rich people, old people, and smart people. Obese people are people. And they are merely a subset of our society. Whereby we all have unhealthy hab- its, theirs cannot be hid- den behind closed doors. More importantly, before those of us in the "thin and healthy" camp point our extremely fit fingers at those on the "other side," perspective must be estab- lished. We, collectively, have created a culture that — for whatever reason — is causing an epidemic. Therefore, We must solve it. However, before some of us self-righteously affix blame and wash our hands of "their" problem, we bet- ter understand that if we don't all help each other, and do so with the fore- most goals being health and compassion, we will certainly all sink together.

ROOM 101 SPECIALSPARTANS CELEBRATE 25TH REUNION SACRAMENTO California State Parks invite veterans, active and reserve mili- tary personnel to spend this year's Memorial Day at one of 142 participating state parks offering free admission. Begun in 1868, Memo- rial Day is a day to reflect and remember U.S. Mili- tary personnel who gave their lives in service to their country. Providing a free day to the Armed Forces and veterans is a small way of honoring all men and woman for their service and sacrifice. Free admission will be provided at the California State Railroad Museum lo- cated in Sacramento, eight state vehicular recreation areas located in different regions around the state and destinations such as Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park northeast of Nevada City, William B. Ide Adobe State Histor- ical Park in Red Bluff and Woodson Bridge State Park east of Corning. The free admission pro- gram allows California State Parks to offer vet- erans, active duty or re- serve military person- nel for the United States Armed Forces and the Na- tional Guard of any state a reduced or free day use at participating California state parks. This program will be offered again on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. STATE PARKS Free admission Memorial Day for military, veterans A crowd variously esti- mated at from 200 to 400 people represented Tehama county at the Chico fair Fri- day.Mostofthevisitorsmade the trip in autos and a repre- sentative of a Chico newspa- per claimed to have counted 75automobilesfromTehama county during the day. Without exception the visitors found the exposition to be even better than they had anticipated and Chico is to be complimented on the extensive and complete dis- plays of everything that goes to make up a successful fair. The Los Molinos exhibit was particularly attractive in its unique form, and re- flects considerable credit on the colony town. — May 27, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
