Obesity- Still a Big Fat Problem

The article is still relevant today as obesity is continuing to grow as a problem as never seen before. It is being tied with diabetes as the American epidemic of the new age with myriad criticisms being thrown around about the food industry, a lack in exercise, and many other factors. However, we are not doomed to live a life of eating only fast food and candy and spending all of our leisure time inside, on a couch, watching television. Despite government regulation that supports a cheap yet unhealthy food system, there are still numerous chances to retain a healthy diet and exercise; one only needs an open road to walk or run off one of the many new naturally grown products that are popping up in supermarkets at an increasing rate. Personal choices and will power can lead one to live a healthier lifestyle free of the heavy consequences of obesity and heart disease.
