Blog Homework #1

I think one of the biggest issues facing the American people today is the increasing levels of obesity in Americans due to lack of proper diet, exercise, and high levels of ignorance. I do not understand how so many people can "let themselves go" (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071002114538AAgawuR), and not realize that they are making a terribly unhealthy decision by either eating unhealthily, not exercising, or a combination of both. McDonald's may taste good but that doesn't mean you should be constantly going there and eating fast food(http://www.synovate.com/changeagent/index.php/site/full_story/fast_food_addiction_obesity_and_other_weighty_issues). It's not that hard to eat a good diet, and its just plain ignorance to pig out on junk food and expect your body to process it all without you getting large. It makes me want to scream when people complain about their body to their friends or me, and then I see that what they eat every day for lunch consists of junk food and artery-clogging cafeteria food (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6430258/ns/dateline_nbc/t/how-safe-school-cafeteria-food/). It should be everyone's goal to eat right and get proper exercise.
