The Perfect Stock for the Obesity Trend

Updated from 11:10 a.m. EDT

Obesity has steadily become a national nightmare in the U.S. and is on its way to becoming a global epidemic. For the first time in hundreds of years, the average lifespan could actually begin to decrease because of the effects of obesity.

Here are some basic numbers:

• Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
• Roughly 60 million Americans are considered obese.
• Within 50 years, obesity will likely shorten the average lifespan of Americans -- 77.6 years -- by at least two to five years.
• Some 3.8 million Americans weigh over 300 pounds.
• The prevalence of obesity among children has quadrupled in the past 25 years.

Unfortunately, I believe the war against obesity is over. And obesity has won. At Stockpickr, we've identified a stock play that takes advantage of a media trend that can perfectly capitalize on our failure to win this war.
