Open Prompt

Being obese or extremely overweight has many negative side effects.  As people continue to eat and eat, their health levels continue to decrease.  Many overweight adults will develop Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, asthma, along with a ton more harmful things.   What many people don't realize is that every single one of those can be prevented if you are over weight.  By simply, exercising and eating right.  Obesity in America is a growing epidemic can can easily be prevented.    In order to lose the excess luggage you are carrying around, you have to be motivated to get rid of it. Which in many cases, a lot of people simply are just too lazy.

To me, it is just sad when I see an over weight person who also has an over weight child.  This can easily be prevented by giving the child nutritional food.  Many parents will feed their children unhealthy food because the kid is being stubborn and only wants to eat chicken nuggets and french fries.  American's need to get out of the habit of feeding their kids unhealthy foods and allowing them to snack on chips and candy constantly.  One out of every three children in America is either obese or overweight.  This statistic is unbelievable and it needs to be under-control and stopped immediately.

  1. This is something that I can relate to very much because my mom from a very young age fed me food that was nutritious. Now that I have gotten older I make healthy decisions because of this. I think that many adults need to do this so the rate of obessity in children can decrease. Before we know it this static of one of three children being obesse is scary. I feel bad for these kids because it is not always their fault that they are fat it is a combination of their genes and the fact that their parents only like McDonalds so they only feed their kids McDonalds. These parents may not realize it but from the youngest age they are setting their children up for disaster.
