Peak Obesity?

The press has been infatuated with the latest CDC mean estimate of obesity prevalence in the US ticking down (here and here).
What they miss is this line from the CDC – “Changes in the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity between the two most recent survey cycles, 2017–March 2020 and August 2021–August 2023, were not significant.“
In contrast, severe obesity rates continue to climb and this result is significant.
