Flash: Rising Rate of Blindness in the U.S.

From this post:
Far fewer parents describe their children as overweight or obese than we see in the actual population. Specifically, the GQR poll showed even parents who volunteer their children's height and weight underreported whether they also view them as overweight or obese. Similarly, this McClatchy-Ipsos poll shows far fewer reporting a personal obesity issue or one in their own family than is actually true among the population.

The only rational explanation is that Americans are losing their eyesight much more rapidly than anyone realizes.
