Yves Engler and I have a common belief on a large topic at hand in America today, and when I say large I mean that figuratively and literally. While according to the latest statistics of the obesity charts, 61% of Americans are considered overweight, but while some blame the overall responsibility of this problem on the individual the rest of us agree that it is actually the government's fault for making us this way.
The main problem Americans are having trouble with is the fact that America itself won't let us be what we are, this is where Engler and I have common ground. America's advertising is always showing us what we should look like and if we don't fit in the cookie cutter shape, then this is how we can. Today many advertisements give us the option of their dollar menus, and why not? It's only 89 cents and a few times a week won't hurt us, right?
Engler suggests us Americans to start getting thinner by solving the threat to the younger generation through more active daily routines, I think this is a great way to eliminate the growing problem, but where do we, the middle aged victims, fit in? To solve this obesity epidemic I suggest we begin to take action by not eating at these fast food restaurant death traps. I suggest we stay true to ourselves by staying healthy and active without purchasing the diet guides, but not by helping the corporations only planning to later write what is on our headstone "Eat at Burger King."
