Twin Falls, Idaho (KMVT-TV) A new report on obesity paints a bleak picture for every state in this country over the next twenty years.

 It’s called "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012."

 For the first time a new report details the long term impacts of obesity. And, the outlook is not good.

 "In Idaho we're looking at an obesity rate of 50–55% by 2030 if nothing changes," said Dr. Elizabeth Sugden, St. Luke’s Jerome.

 By 2030, Idaho will be one of thirty–nine states with an obesity rate above fifty percent.

 Mississippi is projected to have the highest at over 66 percent.

 And, Colorado the lowest in the nation at nearly 45 percent.

 So, what's contributing to our drastically increasing obesity rate?

 "There's a lot more available fast foods, people eat out more, in stores there's choices of high fat foods that are accessible, people aren't as active, there's more television, more computer games," said Dr. Sugden.

 The report details the amount of wages and productivity lost in the work place.

 "Well, if people were more healthy and brought they're Body Mass Index down by just five percent by 2030, we'd save $3.2 billion just in Idaho alone," said Dr. Sugden.

 A dramatic proportion of that is estimated health care costs.

 "You'd decrease rates of diabetes, heart disease, strokes. You'd decrease the cases by over 100, 000," said Dr. Sugden.

 Nationwide hundreds of billions of dollars a year are lost as a result of these diseases.

 "There's lost productivity from work, as well, which is factored to be about $580 billion a year from those illnesses," said Dr. Sugden.

 The health of our nation's youth is one of the biggest concerns.

 Kids as young as ten are developing adult diseases. 

"We're seeing more and more kids having adult forms of diabetes. You're also seeing young kids who have very, very high cholesterols," said Dr. Sugden. 

Health officials are encouraging states nationwide to make a change, before it's too late. 

The report makes several recommendations on how to get control of the obesity rate.
