The
nation’s epidemic of diabetes now touches nearly one in three people. A
new survey found that over 30% of Americans say they have been
diagnosed with diabetes or have a family member who suffers from it. The
estimate of 29 million victims may be low, as nearly four out of five
say they are not well aware of the symptoms and risks of diabetes. Source Link
Consumption
is down a bit, but America is still a fast food nation. A new survey
shows that the average American gets about 11% of their calories from
fast food. Those under 40 eat even more from the drive-thru, and young
black adults are fast food’s favorite customers with an average of one
out of five meals. Source Link
We
can’t seem to part with our old cell phones. A new survey says
Americans are holding onto $34 billion worth of used phones in desks and
junk drawers nationwide, and iPhone users are the worst offenders. The
old phone hoarding is one reason why used phones can still cost up to
$200 on the resale market. Source Link
