Why does American want me fat!

So ok the above statement is a little dramatic, but anyone who knows me knows that I have flare for the dramatic! Seriously though as I take stock in my old lifestyle and the new one I can't help but see and hear all the adds for fatty foods on TV and radio. Even now as I listen to my Pandora on my computer the background is a huge BIG MAC.

Don't get me wrong we all have free will and no one makes us get in the drive thru lane and put the burger to our mouth's, but at what point do we say enough is enough. I just saw on the news yesterday that there is a new burger at Friendly's which has a patty with cheese, and the bread is a grilled cheese sandwich for the top bun and another grill cheese sandwich for the bottom bun. I mean really why is that necessary to have all that; the calories, fat and sodium are more than you need for two days SERIOUSLY! And if that is not enough KFC has a chicken sandwich that there is no buns they just use two fried chicken breasts on top and bottom with some mayo, cheese, and bacon of course.

As I look around there are so many people overweight and I am not judging by any means, but I just can't believe how bad the epidemic has become. The last week we have had some guests here and they are all music teachers taking a seminar and I can't believe it, but I would say 3 out of 5 are overweight. Not just by 10 or 20 pounds but 50 to 100 pounds. That is staggering. Have we all become so complacent that we just say "oh well there is nothing I can do about it so dig in."

I also think that the fast food industry and the billion dollar weight loss industry are in this together. Let's get you fat and then let's take all your money to get it off of you! I don't know if that is true but it makes sense in my head.

I really do believe this generation will not out live their parents do to the choices that they are making. I want to not only be hot again without the weight but I am 4 years from 40 and I don't want to be on medication for blood pressure, diabetes, or worse. At what point to we say enough!

This blog was not as funny as some of the others but this is not a funny subject! It really concerns me and I feel that I am helpless against the disease of obesity. I realize that I am on my path but I want to help others to get healthy!

Anyway that's all for today!

Talk tomorrow
