A new study shows if more Americans parked their cars and rode their bikes our country's obesity rate would likely drop. Researchers studied the rate of active transportation -- meaning walking, biking or even riding public transportation -- and compared it to the obesity rate in 17 different countries. Only 12-percent of Americans use active transportation and almost a third are obese, the highest rate in the study. A whopping 62-percent of people in Sweden bike, walk or use mass transit and their obesity rate is only 9-percent.
