  28. Why is Obesity a Problem? • Obesity has been on the rise in the United States for the past 20 years1 • Genetics, environmental factors, and individual behaviors all contribute to overweight and obesity • Overweight and obese teens are especially at risk • Adolescents who are obese suffer disproportionately from social and psychological problems such as bullying and poor self-esteem2
