====Obesity have grown rapidly over the last twenty years. [|The number of states with an obesity prevalence of 30% or more has increased to 12 states in 2010. In 2009, nine states had obesity rates of 30% or more.]The reason obesity has grown so much in the past twenty years is because of these three main points, sources of sodium, people eating to much sugar, and people not exercising enough.==== ====One of the biggest effect in the obesity is because of the sources of sodium. In a[| article]written by Fred Decker he explains **how sodium in fruit juices and other sugars can contribute in obesity**. In another article it says the t**ypes of food and nutrients a person eats may also contribute to obesity and high blood pressure. According to the Mayo Clinic, excessive [|sodium intake can cause the body to retain fluids which increase blood pressure].** In the final article written by the new york times news reporter it says a **[|place to start to fighting obesity is school serving high sodium snacks]**. This proves that sources of sodium can lead to obesity.==== ====Another big effect of obesity have grown rapidly over the last twenty years is because people eating too much sugar. I read an article and it stated that **[|fast foods and junk food are high in fat and sugar and can lead to obesity]**. The second article I read was written by a reporter named Emily Main and she stated that **[|eating way too much sugar but exceeding your recommended sugar intake could lead to obesity]**. In the final article it says eating too much sugar is**[| a major contribute to overweight and obesity]**. This proves that if people keep eating too much sugar it will to obesity.====

====A final way obesity have grown rapidly over the last twenty years is people have not exercise enough. A study done by an organization it states **that weight gain is due to poor diet and [|lack of exercise]**is responsible for obesity. Another article I read says that **the main cause of obesity is[| not enough exercise]**, (for example: late night snacking). The final article I read says **[|lack of physical activity]found to be the most significant factor in contributing to childhood obesity.**====
