Obesity is a word that we are all familiar with in the US, how more and more people are becoming obese and how do we stop this crisis. Well if you keep up with USA Today like I do you will have seen the the New York City Mayor has decided to place a law on how large of a sugary drink that you can buy to help stop obesity. Does anyone see a flaw in this plan? What is stopping a person from then buying two drinks? Also if you have been keeping up with this blog you will know that I am working on losing weight myself, but I do not feel it is the governments place to tell me what I can drink or how much sugary drink I can have, I can decided for myself thank you for your concern. Now that being said I think there is a problem and I wouldn't be against if the soda companies worked to have less sugar within their drinks. But let's think about something different, how can we maybe fix child obesity, well we have already made all the cafeteria food "healthy" gag I wish people making the decisions about school lunch would actually have to eat the stuff. Also super unhealthy children usually don't end up eating salad so you taking the salad dressing and making it fat free isn't really helping. Something though that is really missing is physical activity!!! Would it really hurt our education if all through school (yes even high school) we could have 15 or 20 minutes to walk, run, or do something instead of sitting for 7 hours a day? No wonder we are fat.. I feel that sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. And like I said I am on a journey also to becoming healthier but I am aware of that and am taking on my own responsibility to becoming healthier (only with my coke to drink)
Have a great rest of the day.
