Today, Is a perfect day to get some obesity in a can at my favorite resturaunt, I put on my walking shoes, and head out the door of the 10 ft SQ. apartment I own.

Of Course, The reason was that I was addicted to the Not-Cocaine that the food chain puts in it's food, I walk along the side walk in my little city of LA's, Huh, that's emarassing I forgot the city name.

Well, Anyways, I took out my smartphone and started to look at V-ine while I was taking a stroll through LA's Hyde Park.

I had a strange feeling when a strange man started yelling "Im Ronald McDonald! Give me you soul!" I looked up in time to see a man with a red bandana fall limp on the street in front of this 'Ronald McDonald'

Being the Mindful person I am, I Ignore them both

    Twenty years ago it would nearly be impossible if a parent tried to get their child to come inside after a long day of running around and playing in the sun. Little boys would be mad at their mom or dad for breaking up their intense game of football and the girls wouldn’t want to go inside until they finished their adventures at the park; that’s not really the case today. Instead, more kids would complain about having to go outside because that would mean time spent away from their phones and video games. This generation of kids have developed new social norms and being active and eating healthy are not the main priority. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, obesity is defined as, “the condition of being extremely fat or overweight” (“Obesity, n”).…

    My personal view regarding the policy is that one of the key reasons for the enactment of this policy is that kids will grow and develop to become healthy adults. This is a bi- partisan legislation and the USDA has ruled out regulations with regards to food choices and caloric intake ensuring that meals served to kids will be healthy nutritious and portioned sizes to age requirements. For these and all other reasons discussed it is evident that there have been developmental issues with relations to the becoming adults, choices that are being made and the devastating effects of not paying attention to chronological age, needs at the time and the effects of lack of needs being met in growth, human development, mental development, psychological development, social development and moral development. Children will be given a better opportunity to education which will affect their growth and development.…
