Story Behind It All

Some of my friends ask me why I care so much about obesity rate. I always have the same answer for them. I have never been one of those "skinny" girls, but i always have tried to stay healthy. Getting older now i have realized what i need to do to take care of my body. I think that eatting healthy is really improtant and childen and teens these days really don't see that. They sit in front of tv and eat snacks all day. Studies are showing now that even school lunches are becoming unhealthy. Another reason why our obesity rates keep growing. I really want to show kids and young adults that eatting healthy and staying fit can be better for you in the long run. Taking responsibility for our health early can help you when you get older. With obesity comes health probelms and those problems can be life threatening. I want young adults to take charge of their health and stay health. I want to see that school lunches become healthier. I think that people need to realize that school lunches arn't healthy. Proportions need to be managed, along with what is being put into school lunches. We need to take charge of our schools!
