I'm sure it's obvious, America is in the middle of a HUGE weight crisis (no pun intended). Look around though seriously. Even most of our smaller people suffer from the skinny-fat syndrome. To be honest we're just plan old unhealthy, out of shape and overweight! As a Nation!
We need to start exercising more and eating better...period. And, like most things, it's going to have to start with how we bring up our youth.
The First Lady of the United States has thrown her hat into the ring and has created a movement called 'Lets Move' to help fight childhood obesity. This isn't something that we can run from or sweep under the rug. I suggest we all do our part, rather it's joining in with the Lets Move Movement or just doing your part at home.
I ran across an interesting article on the topic of childhood obesity and the idea of the school lunch system playing it's part. Let me know your thoughts on the topic if you have any. Check it out below.
Peace & Blessings!
