The F.D.A.’s approval of Alli comes at time when the federal government is under
pressure to address a growing obesity problem in the United States. Roughly 31
percent of American adults, or about 60 million people, meet the criterion for
obesity. More than 64 percent of the adult population in this country is
regarded as overweight.

This comes from the NYTimes. Perhaps more of America should look more into the cleanse, and look less at what to stuff in their faces.
