This comes as new data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that obesity currently affects four in ten Americans.

Appearing on GBN America, Lauren Chen said the "health crisis" of being overweight is spreading across the States, with "66 per cent of people being overweight".

Chen told host Patrick Christys that in America, the conception of what "fatness" is for the average adult is "so skewed".
