A new report predicts more than half of all adults in Ohio will be overweight in less than ten years. 

That would be a sizeable increase from the obesity rate last year in the Buckeye State which was 29%.
 
As waistlines get bigger, analysts say health care costs will also go up.  They predict it will cost each Ohioan nearly $2,000 to treat obesity-related ailments.
