Why We Have Become Obese As A Country

I don’t know anyone who really wants to be obese, just ask my wife and her mother as they have battle this problem for years.

It has become a well known fact that obesity in Canada and the U.S. is completely out of control. Perhaps you are wondering why? Take a look at the commercials on the tube and I am sure you will notice all the food being thrown in our faces

Why are advertising agencies bombarding us with so many TV commercials about food, especially about Burger King? The simple fact is they want you to get fat so you will go out and spend more money on diet pills.

Understand one fact. The majority of those living in developed countries around the world have seen our health slide to the point we are at risk of eating ourselves to death. According to experts, about 70% of the adult population living in the U.S is overweight. This means if you are thin and healthy you make up the minority.

It’s time to make a change from this horrorible fact. Sadly it seems being overweight and ill has become acceptable. Are we a nation that has gone crazy or what.

There is a good reason we are getting fatter. It is because most of us live sedentary lives in front of the TV or computer.

It’s not just sitting around that’s making people overweight it’s also the fattening foods we are eating day in and day out, year after year.

People grab something quick because it’s become a habit, a bad habit.

Putting it bluntly we have turned into lazy overweight people when it comes to our eating habits and now, after years of abuse our country is paying for it.

There is a rather simple solution to our overweight problem. We make the choice to eat fat producing foods and we choose to avoid exercise, let’s change our way of thinking.
