The number of overweight Americans is big and getting bigger. 64 percent of US adults are either obese or overweight, and 15 percent of children and adolescents are overweight, according to recent figures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Overweight has replaced smoking as the latest epidemic to conquer.... Wellness offerings that improve eating habits and prevent overweight are hot, too. Sisters, Cheryl Tallman, 40 and Joan Ahlers, 36, are promting health food choices with their Petoskey,MI start-up, Fresh Baby LLC. The Fresh Start baby food kit, which includes a 42 recipe all-natural cookbook, an instructional video, freezer trays, and a quick reference guide retails for $34.95. “The [overweight] prevention market is underserved.” says Ahlers, There’s an enormous opportunity for companies to get very creative with products and services in this category.
