We have a huge issue on hand and its not getting any better! Im talking about a national epidemic here, obesity and overweightedness...( lol, real word?) in our country! no bueno. We all face these cravings for fast food. I mean its yummy food, and you get it fast, so how can we not want it? Then once we eat it, we get tired and lazy and dont want to be active. Well we need to change. 16% of preschool children are obese or overweight and 20% of children over all. 2/3 of America is obese or overweight. If this trend continues, 100% of America will be either obese or overweight by 2048. Thats horrible and not to say the least...embarrassing. With out a doubt one of the fattest countries! Thats not something that im proud to say why i live here. These people who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of cancers and illnesses, resulting in even death!

In order to change we as Americans need to instill better diet and exercising habits in our children to begin with. Just by eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day with 8 glasses of water as well. Exercise everyday, even if that means talking a 10 minute walk, or riding your bike somewhere instead of driving. Play a sport you enjoy, or even dance! Playing the Wii fit is a great work out and its fun. Just staying active. You will feel better attitude wise, have more energy, clearer skin and you will be healthier and fit!
