Earlier this month, CNN posted an interactive map showing the growth of obesity in the states over the past 20 years.
Watching the map change from light blue colors to the growth of bright red- high obesity states is alarming. However, as researchers and scientists explain all their hypothesized ideas on the growth of obesity, I’m not buying in.
Most stand by fast food joints have been around long before the 1980’s, and health awareness has been ever growing for the past 5 years at least. Personal trainers are the new in-town celebrities, and it seems that everybody knows of at least one super self-motivated success story living in their neighborhood.
And although we’ve grown into a society more reliant on cars the planes to move us around, information has been pouring out like a landslide about the risks and causes of obesity. It’s not just America either. Research shows that very few countries are living without the obesity epidemic.
So, my question is what’s really going on here? Is this a case of extreme stubbornness, denial and disbelief, or is losing weight too hard? Changing your lifestyle is not easy, but it’s do able, and it appears, for more than half of Americans, necessary.
What’s your take? Why does obesity continue to rise despite the growth of information discussing the dangers? What changes have you made in your life to keep in shape, and what sort of solutions would you offer others?
What many people don’t know about acne treatment is that the steroids are prone to
causing breast enlargement as well. Those who go for drug therapy rather than
laser hair removal will vouch by this too.
The enlargement continues in spite of plastic surgery.
