College Students Struggle with Obesity
Ask a college student what they had for dinner and they're bound to say pizza and beer. The two have always been synonymous with college students, but studies show their fast food diets are causing health problems.
A new study at North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park, Minn., shows 47.7 percent of students on campus are obese or overweight.
"Our study mirrors the national trend we've seen when it comes to a drastic increase in obesity," Study Coordinator and Dean of Institutional Effectiveness Lisa Scholotterhausen said. "We weren't surprised to learn that our students are battling problems with weight."
