Did you know that the U.S is the fattest country in the world? Well it is, and are you concern about your weight? Or what you should eat? This is one of the biggest problems in the United States for the past decade or so and we need to do something about it. When I hear the word obese, I think of kids who can’t help themselves from food. And it makes me sad because my little sister is close to having obesity. And this is a really serious problem because some kids. Some of the causes are from stress, and other depressing stuff. And the number of people who are obese is rising. About 1.2 billion people in the world are overweight and at least 300 million of them are obese, even though obesity is one of the 10 most preventable health risks, according to the World Health Organization. In the United States, more than 97 million adults - that's more than half - are overweight and almost one in five adults is obese. Among teenagers and kids 6 years and older, more than 15% are overweight - that's more than three times the number of young people who were overweight in the 1970s. At least 300,000 deaths every year in the United States can be linked to obesity. This is why we should stop fast-food places like McDonalds or Wendy’s. Here is a link that I found on the net.

Obesity?

Thanks for commenting me and one of the reasons why I posted it was because America is the fattest country in the world. Another reason why I had decided to post this was becuase there are several loved ones in my family who are obese and it concerns me so. I appreciate your comment.
