Discover Why Americans Suffer Obesity Epidemic
By Melek Kaprisli

Let get clear first what an epidemic is according to an famous online encyclopedia- “epidemiology, an epidemic (from Greek epi- upon + demos people) is a classification of a disease that appears as new cases in a given human population, during a given period, at a rate that substantially exceeds what is "expected". Well,if 80% does not count as “a rate that substantially exceeds what is expected” then ,honestly,I don't know what figure does.

So,we will leave salvation of the problem to the so called experts. We,the amateurs are simply to try to figure out how it happened. What makes people throw on unnecessary layers on their bodies? Is junk food really that attractive and tasty? Ok,maybe ice creams are. And milk shakes,I must admit. But,does it always have to come in BIG SIZE?!!!

Come on people,it s not like every day can happen to be your last. What s with this supersize obsession anyway? Buy more,eat more,don t do regular get big,then don t buy big anymore,buy bigger. There s always larger. And cheaper. Snacks,soda,fast food,TV and couch-can we name those as BIGGEST enemies?

Can someone out there please explain me what makes people decide to spend their entire lives stuck to a couch? Don t know about all of you,but to me this life is too short to be spent indoors while stuffing myself sick. If Americans are blindly following commercials and are obedient to modern social conditions,what intrigues me is why don t they follow latest fashion commands. Ops,I do have an answer-fashion s expensive, junk food s not.

What so tempting about fast food anyway? It s a substitute to real food! How many of you can cook? Come on ,raise your hands,let me see you. How many of you enjoy making a tasty meal out of fresh ingredients? What? Takes too long? Frozen food is easier to manage and is cheaper? Well yes but still tastes like plastic. Well,if u live to eat and not eat to live then there s not much hope. No sudden magic stick out of nowhere to change your mind and make you worry about your health and appearance.

Don t get me wrong,I do talk too much but don t think I support anorexic look that s so popular in Hollywood. No way. Never. Not in a million years. Make that a zillion! Not much of a fan of Mandy Moore’s work but to my humble opinion that girl looks great, but still she is going on a diet for her upcoming movie. What to say about Keira Knightley? Love her movies but that girl is so thin she s becoming invisible.

Guess American people love being leaders in all aspects of life. So being overweight is a new trade mark for them. And I am not being offensive,it s just that I have came across many articles concerned with this problem that I had to intervene. Not that I hope anybody will pay any attention to this because it does look like one in a sea of many. And my boss just loves to give me jobs everybody else simply denies to do.

So,in conclusion,people enjoy your life,enjoy yourself and every God s given opportunity for self-improvement even if it means food reducing,exercise (but don t overdo it,simple walk instead of driving will do for starters) and try to have more fun before you are gone. Great,now I overdid it with my advices. Who asked me anyway?
