No matter where you stand on New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on the sale of large soft drinks, you have to admit that the proposal has kickstarted the discussion around obesity. The problem is certainly a serious one: According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 35.7% of Americans are now obese. This increases the risk of a range of serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. From a financial point of view, cutting the obesity rate also makes sense. According to the CDC, obesity-related medical costs hit $147 billion in the US in 2008, with over weight people running up $1,429 more in medical expenses during the year than more fit Americans. Food Investments American businesses have taken notice: Last year, Wal-Mart (WMT) joined the Let's Move! campaign, rolling out a five-year plan to make its food healthier and cheaper. Many other such as Walgreen (WAG), have also signed on. Two Stocks That Will Profit From Thinner Waistlines There are a number of ways investors can cash in on the trend toward healthier eating.
