The Reason for Obesity

Why are advertising agencies flooding us with so many TV commercials about food, especially about McDonald's or Burger King? The simple fact is they want you to get fat so you will go out and spend more money on diet pills. This way you can get skinny and then start all over by going back to the fast food joints to get fat again. It is a catch-22 scenario. It is a vicious cycle.
Understand one fact. The heath condition of the majority of people in developed nations has deteriorated to such an extent that it has literally become a crisis. 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.
This is a sad fact and something that needs to change. To think that the normal way to live is to be out of shape, overweight, and have all kinds of diseases? It is insanity. To think that nine out of ten people are obese is a bad stat. And this is what this country is leading to.
Why is this country leaning toward getting fat? It is because most of us live sedentary lives. Kids are not spending their time running around and playing games outside. Instead, they jump on their video games or spend time surfing the Internet and chatting with friends or others.
Besides the above, people are getting fatter because of the way they eat. They try to grab something quick and end up eating something they should not. Everything that is bought from the store is processed. It is refined. Most foods are packed with chemicals to preserve them for shelf life. We live in a fast-paced world. For this reason people claim they don't have time to cook or are too tired to. So they grab quick junk foods from corner stores, fast food joints, and restaurants.
The plain and simple fact is that people have become lazy. In order to get out of that, you need to push yourself to maintain your control. You have to ac t responsibly.
The solution to being overweight is simple. Make smarter food choices, prepare your own meals, and get out and exercise. If you do this, you won't have to worry about being fat.
