Well, if your home is in Nebraska, filling a 500-gallon propane tank (300 gallons if you are at 20% capacity and fill it to 80%) will cost you $562 at current average propane prices per gallon, compared to $397 last year.
Treating obesity and obesity-related conditions costs billions of dollars a year. By one estimate, the U.S. spent $190 billion on obesity-related health care expenses in 2005-double previous estimates.
The 2004 research put the total cost of people considered obese at between Â£3.3 billion and 3.7 billion in 2002. That was made up of the cost of treating obesity and its consequencesâabout Â£1 billionâand the earnings lost due to sickness and premature mortality among obese people.
