The “Hunger-Obesity” Epidemic in the US

The culture in the United States has changed substantially in these past few decades alone. Ranging from the superficial changes like fashion, to the more substantive (and troubling) changes like diet and obesity rates, the United States has transformed into a nation that would be unrecognizable a mere forty years prior.
