Jim Rohn once said “take care of your body it’s the only place you have to live in”. Take caring of your body is one of the most important thing in life. If you don’t take good care of your body and health, you’ll collapse and that would probably effect everything in your life. Not taking care of your body could cause diseases and illnesses. Caring for your body will help you in your daily life.…

It is interesting that the CDC date the obesity epidemic starting in the early 1980’s. That is nearly 40 years ago. While I understand that obviously, there is no quick fix to solving this problem, I feel like more has gotten worse than better. The fact that obesity is a big risk factor to 5 out of the 10 leading causes of death and the prediction that 32-52% of Americans may be obese by 2030 is terrifying. The fact that there is a chance that over half of Americans would be obese really helps puts how big a deal the obesity epidemic is.…
Many interesting facts were brought up in the short video “The Skinny on Obesity.” The first was that many people believe that eating low fat foods or reduced calorie foods would help them lose weight. This is incorrect because the fat or calories that are now missing must have been replaced with something else. For example, the film mentioned how Snackwells have a regular sandwich cookie and a low fat sandwich cookie. Both have the same amount of calories though; therefore that fat that has been reduced must have been replaced.…
I think that the spread of McDonald’s and other American fast-foods worldwide have been the worst thing that could have happened. The obesity rate in America was so high and once we started educating ourselves about our supersized life we stopped consuming so much. The countries that are poorer and have little to spend love the price point of these delicious little burgers. They eat these foods without knowing and they continue to increase the rate of obesity just by the tricks of the commercial to the desire of wanting to be westernized. As we watched the documentary, Mexico’s rate of obesity has increased so much that they are willing to do weight loss surgeries for free or for a very low cost because ultimately it will be a better outcome…

One of the biggest problems we have in America today is obesity. Obesity is the condition of being grossly fat and many people in America have this condition. Being overweight and obese are two very different things. When one is overweight this extra weight could come from water, bone, fat, or even muscle. When someone is obese this is when they have only too much fat.…
America is one of the remarkably overweight nations in the world. It is for the reason that individually life is speedy and the majority of people come about needing food right now, instead of taking the time to cook a meal. If fast food restaurants prevail in the high schools of our communities, before long it would essentially be contributing to the obesity issue, diminishing the health of our youth, and hurting students academically. It is no secret that America, as a nation, has a fast food problem.…
Obesity is a problem is the United States that mostly affects kids, teenagers, and adults. Parents have a huge impact on obesity because their children follow their footsteps. One of the impacts that parents make are choosing how much and what type of food that their children eat. Obesity can cause many serious health problems, so it is very important to monitor the causes of obesity. Obesity is a growing problem in the United States of America; obesity in America is caused by eating fast unhealthy foods, not exercising regularly, and high prices of healthy foods.…
One out of three kids are considered overweight in the United States (Obesity Youth). Today’s society faces many challenges, one of which is childhood obesity. Childhood obesity has become a major epidemic in today’s society. Obesity to an average healthy individual may seem like no big deal, but in reality it is the second leading cause of mortality in the United Sates. Childhood obesity is a problem that needs to be controlled now before it escalates into our future as a society as a whole.…
Obesity is Swallowing up your Country Obesity is linked to more worldwide deaths than starvation. The U.S Government is not doing enough to improve on this issue in America. Throughout the years, diseases that come from nutritional deficiency have been replaced with an imbalance of nutrients. There has been a dietary increase over the last 30 years, along with a decrease of exercise. More than half of the world’s population lives in a country where obesity is among one of the leading health risks.…
Fast food restaurants are the main contributor to the declination of health in America. We all know the signification of healthy eating and how it affects our health. Fast food can only affect your body in one way, and that’s bad. Indulgent fast food intakes result in obesity and this opens the gateway to a lot of serious health problems in America.…
Obesity is classified by the United States government as a disease and needs to be treated as so. Questions have been asked about obesity and its effects for the last few years as the obesity population had risen. The government has put few restrictions in place to help prevent obesity, even though it has been the third leading cause of death in America. Obesity can be caused by overeating and lack of exercise, but it has astounding after-effects. Due to obesity, Americans can acquire other diseases, unnecessary medical bills can cause the government to spend millions on treatments, and fast food companies advertise non nutritious foods that cause Americans to spend insane amounts of money.…

America is one of the most obese countries in the world, and the reasons are pretty obvious. You have fast food stores in almost every shopping center, block, mall, or even amusement parks. America doesn’t take obesity serious. Although Michelle Obama did try to tackle obesity with the play 60 program.(www.letsmove.gov) It was not enough to stop kids from craving fast foods. Parents need to be more strict on their kids eating habits.…
