Ok, I AM getting older

As is the population as a whole. That might be one way to cook the numbers, if you're trying to start panic in the streets: just point out that X% of the population is now overweight/obese/whatever, which is a Y% increase over Z of 20 years ago... and, you know, if it hasn't actually changed when you break it down by age, just quietly tiptoe past that.

I wonder where one would go to find unbiased data on this sort of thing. Especially when one's supposed to be working...
