Obesity In America.

Diving deeper into the fastfood world I've been doing a lot of research on almost anything covering the topic. A certain health issue that can't help but be connected in some way to fast food is the obesity epidemic.

Americans have been getting fatter throughout centuries and its only getting worse. Staggering numbers of people are being put into the "overweight" catagory. You never realize what a concern this issue is until you actually have the statistics put right in front of you.

•  It is estimated that 300,000 people are dying from obesity related complications every year.

•  Experts predict that by 2015 that 2.3 million adults will be overweight.

• Worldwide, 20 million children are overweight.

Looking at just three of these shocking statements you realize this is ridiculous!!!!

So, how can we fix this pleasantly plump trend?... By putting the facts out there and working on methods of prevention. Instead of turning the other cheek it is time for American's to own up to their faults and work towards a slimmer future!
