Container and Soil. Zinnia plants do not transplant well, therefore, it is best to sow the seeds into 2 1/2- to 4-inch biodegradable peat pots that will break down when planted outside in the soil.

An estimated 160 million Americans are either obese or overweight. Nearly three-quarters of American men and more than 60% of women are obese or overweight.

In all, nearly 35 percent of Americans are overweight, meaning that they have a body mass index between 25 and 29.9. This metric is a generally reliable way of estimating body fat percentage, though it can overestimate fat in athletes and those with a particularly muscular build.
