The Crisis

 

Our country is at a crossroads. We have a crisis of culture – a culture that is rapidly becoming unsustainable and threatens to bankrupt our country and its people. We have become passive consumers of a lifestyle that is increasingly unhealthy, sedentary and disconnected from one another and our communities.

 

The byproducts of this passive lifestyle are all around us:

  • Today’s youth represent the first generation in 100 years to have a lower life expectancy than that of their parents
  • If current trends continue, nearly 90% of the adult population in the U.S. will be overweight or obese by 2030, with associated health care costs skyrocketing to almost $960 billion dollars each year
  • The total annual cost of obesity and its related diseases to the U.S. is currently $440 billion
