Jeff Monroe Foundation
The Jeff Monroe Foundation is a registered 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization committed to helping fight obesity in America. There are more overweight and obese people in the United States than ever before. It is a national epidemic, causing higher medical costs and lower quality of life. Swift change must occur, which is why Jeff Monroe and his charity are doing everything possible to win this important battle through inspirational, educational and financial support.Excess body fat is a complex problem that requires positive action for adults, children and adolescents. According to Body Mass Index *(BMI) over 34% of the U.S. population is obese, while another 32% are overweight. These numbers add up to a staggering 66%, that's 2/3 of all Americans having serious weight issues. Due to these statistics, it's how the U.S. medical care costs of obesity totaled 147 billion in 2008. The time has come to stop this deadly and costly epidemic before it affects more American lives, as well as our government's financial system.
*BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, rounded to one decimal place. For adults 20 years or older, overweight is defined as a BMI of 25.0 or higher, obesity is a BMI of 30.0 or higher.
