OBESITY!
Obesity is becoming more common these days. Fast food is the main cause of this. Obesity is a disease that affects 34 percent of adults age 20 and over in the United States, which amounts to more than 72 million people. Obesity is a problem that is not taken seriously by most people. Obesity is a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease. Obesity won’t go away by it’s self and can’t be treated quickly. You are defined as obese if you are 20% above normal body weight due to fat. You may not look obese but if you fall in this category you run the health risks. Your basic body shape is inherited; but your lifestyle determines your health. Even small amounts of weight loss result in big health improvements. The only way to attain a healthy weight is to find a plan and stick to it for life.

i totally agree with you. Obesity is becoming very common today because of all the foods out there.
ReplyDeletei agree too. it's sickening seeing how many people become obese in such a short period of time.
ReplyDeleteObesity is an easy fix... just eat salads everyday.
ReplyDeleteObesity is such a big problem out there, with the foods and unhealthy lifestyles there are these day people don't maintain a healthy lifestyle. People can stay healthy by eating the right foods and staying active.
ReplyDeleteI hate Obesity so much. I think that it is so bad and people need to get help. They need to change their life style to become better and it could also make them feel good about themselves.
ReplyDeleteObesity has been increasing throughout time. There are a lot of unhealthy foods out there that people take advantage of. People do look to food to brighten their day or to relieve depression. There should be other options for these people.
ReplyDeleteHow hard is it to eat healthy and stay active?
ReplyDeleteThis really shouldn't be as big as problem as it is.
It is easily fixable if people take care of themselves.
Yeahhhh, i don't even try and I'm a pencil. People don't care and are lazy that's why there fat.
ReplyDeleteI like food
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, obesity is becoming an issue in America, and it is not to hard to control what you eat. People don't realize what junk food can do to your body, so eating healthy and exercising will make you more fit rather then eating fatty foods.
ReplyDeletepeople need to control how much they eat
ReplyDeleteI agree, fast food in take is a major cause of peoples obesity today.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love fast food as much as the next person, but you don't see me being overweight. That's mostly because I exercise daily and don't eat it everyday. People get lazy and their self esteem lowers, and thats why people are obese.
ReplyDeleteObesity is a major problem, especially in the U.S, that needs to be stopped. People are becoming way to obese and then that is hurting themselves to fulfill daily chores, duties, and responsibility.
ReplyDeletePeople really need to focus on become healthier. Its not just about how good food is but how healthy it is for you.
