In 2012, as part of a calorie-reduction pledge, 16 US food companies sold 6.4 trillion calories less than in 2007. Obesity rates declined or remained flat during this time for most US states, painting a hopeful picture for calorie-reduction behavior. That being said, no state currently has an obesity rate under 20%.
