* 52,000+ American soldiers died in Viet Nam during that 10 year war
* 35,000+ Americans die each year from car collisions
* 100,000+ Americans die each year from prescription drugs
But...
300,000+ Americans die each year from obesity-linked diseases. And that isn't my uneducated guess, that's the number given in the 2001 Surgeon General's Report.
The report also said that 31% of Americans are obese.
With a population now of around 300 million people that means 93 million Americans are walking time bombs due to the health risks of obesity. People who may die prematurely from a disease directly linked to being obese. And unfortunately the problem has continued to become worse with obesity now taking a foothold in children.
An estimated 14% of children under 18 are obese.
