Obesity in America

I want you to ask yourself this question. How often do you see a child or teen that is over weight? And be honest. Think about the enormity of the matter. There is a serious issue among Americans that poses a threat to our future generation's health.

Do you believe the media when they give statistics of American adults vs. Children who are over weight? What about the food they serve in schools? Where do you stand?

Consider this; when a child is reminded daily the difference between health food and junk food whether it be by the media or even their own families, think about what might run through their minds. "Hmm... what looks yummier...? Donuts! Cupcakes! Twinkies! Oh my!"

Studies are saying that there are more obese adults today than there are children and teens, but that the youth is not too far behind. What will become of American citizens once the last generation above us is gone and we teens are left to run this country? Will we be leading an example of milk shakes and cheeseburgers? Or will there be a break through for fitness that gets this nation as a whole back into shape?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Where do I weigh in?


• Am I pro or con considering teen obesity?


• What can I do to help this so-called "American health epidemic"?

• Do I care what the future holds concerning our younger generations?

Is the media full of crap when they paint a picture in some minds that we American's are nothing but lazy, grungy, fat people with sauce-dripping cheeseburger's clutched in our bulging hands? Or can there possibly be a truth to the "crisis" among adults, teens, and below concerning our weight?
