A New Franchise
Alarmed by America’s ever-growing waistlines, TIME published a landmark cover package and 32-page special report on June 7, 2004, entitled Critical Condition: America’s Obesity Crisis. In signature TIME style, the report not only looked into all facets of the problem, but left no stone unturned looking for a solution. Now, on June 6, 2005, TIME editors will delve into the fitness side of the health equation in AMERICA THE FIT.
