Obesity in Our Country

You can't pick up a magazine or a newspaper without reading about the obesity epidemic in this country. It is out of site!!! You have to ask yourself why that is happening. I believe there are several reasons for that, but I also believe that it is about to change.
Have you noticed food prices going up? We are just in the beginning stages of seeing food go through the roof. Everyone in America has this false sense of hope and belief that we are immune to anything like that happening. As I was filling my gas tank yesterday and it cost me over $50.00, I got a real dose of reality. As gas prices continue to climb, so does every other commodity in the world.

Families that have lost their jobs had to do something to ease the pain so they turned to cheap food (if you can call it that). Fast food is fairly cheap and it filled people up. You could feed your family for less than $20 bucks. Here is where the problems begin. There is NO nutritional value in fast food. Actually, the nutritional value in any food is extremely low. So what are Americans supposed to do? How about eating food that has nutrition. Yeah, but how can I afford that? My answer to them is how can you afford NOT TOO. Look, when prices go up more than they are now, what is the American population going to do? My guess, they will still head for the nearest fast food place because it will still be less expensive (in their minds) than actually making an effort to find a better way to eat.

Here is what is going to change this epidemic. The WELLNESS REVOLUTION. Our health care is going to look very different in the future because we are not going to treat people with pills and surgeries. The future products on the market will be able to create a longer life span and help our cells fight off diseases. There is one caveat to this and that is you have to be healthy to take advantage of these products. Would that motivate you to get healthy? We shall see!
