Lesson 9: Food And Relapse Prevention - Slide 10





People Are Eating A Lot Of Fat!
- According to a recent survey
- Americans eat more fat per person than any other nation in the world
- About 110 million Americans between 18 and 79 years old are overweight
- If these people ate 600 less calories daily, the total reduced intake would be 5.7 trillion calories or the energy equivalent to:
- The yearly residential electricity use of Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, DC
- 1.3 billion gallons of gasoline, the fuel for about 1 million cars for a year
