I guess you're asking WHY we should decrease obesity in the USA.
Well, decreasing obesity will:
1) lower overall medical costs associated with obesity
2) ensure a healthier, more active population.
3) people who are not obese (and have obesity-related health issues) will be able to work for more years and probably more productively than someone who suffers the effects of obesity.

Obesity is more prevalent in the US than anywhere else in the world according to the statistics. Being overweight is never a good thing, and the place to try to educate people about the dangers of obesity is at home and at school - while they are still young.
