Mind over matter
People always look at you when your over weight like they are sum how immune to being over weight. Our society has us breed to think these thing threw fashion and tv. We can't go anywhere with out having these things thrown in our face. In America there are over 2 million people who are concidered morbidly obese. This means there are over 2 million Americans who are 500lbs or more. What will it take before we as a country are going to put a stop to the unhealthy environment we are creating for our children. We are quick to blame, and find a reason why it cant change. Think about this, our country is in sever financial danger. If we were to get healthier, eating better, more excercise, better life choices, we would not have as strong of a need for the medication for things like diabetes, High blood pressure, Mobility issues. The list could go on for ever with the medical problems that come with being over weight. So with out the need for these medications there wouldnt be a need for as many hospital visits, operations, house calls, there for all of those who are getting goverment disability, medicare, or any of our other goverment resourses would decrease by the millions. Now I am not saying they wouldnt exist any more but people would have a better quality of life so they would no longer need to use these resourses as often. Why are we allowing a simple thing such as a donut control our lives. We are supposed to be the stronger species the one who will survive it all but we are not strong enough to say no to a simple peice of food?
