America needs to get off of the COUCH! Stop eating food that's made in a lab/factory and eat something that will actually make you feel GOOD! The stimulus for this blog was seeing an obese child too unfit to keep up with his 40 year old mother's walking pace! INSANITY! SHE made him that way! We live in a country with amazing resources and we KNOW that what we put into our bodies is killing us. Nobody has to be fat. It’s all part of the American machine. Consume consume consume, and sit sit sit. Everything in our society it centered around sitting and eating, This isn’t a coincidence. America wants you to sit in your car and DRIVE up to a restaurant, order your fried food without ever leaving your seat, eat fries while sitting on the way home, and to eat your food sitting in front of a television. When is there movement? Never. Before you went to the drive thru you were more than likely sitting in front of a computer. You took the elevator down one floor, and walked out to the parking lot to your car parked in the closest spot possible, and then drove to the death-thru. Most Westerners wouldn’t see a problem with this, which is an even greater problem than our nation’s obesity epidemic. As if morbid obesity wasn’t awakening enough, now as Americans we’ve grown to become super morbidly obese. It’s saddening. Through writing I can’t possibly convey or evoke the emotions that rise within me when stores have the option of “extra meat” listed on their menus, like lemmings people are elated with this choice and oblige. Take a walk during your lunch break. Park far away, or really question if you MUST drive. Walking or biking to your destination is good for the environment and your body. Pack your own lunch. Walk around during commercial breaks. Get rid of your remote. These all sound elementary and possibly silly…but it works. My M.O. is Bullshit in, bullshit out. You’re not going to be healthy if you eat fried battered fake food, you’re going to LOOK like the bullshit you eat! Our Country is making us fat, and it’s time that we (literally) take a stand and regain control of our bodies.

my friend Lindsay and i were talking about this the other day and im sure you and i have talked about this many times BUT we need to stop making accommodations for overweight people. If you cant fit in your airplane seat, you should have to buy two. When someone is overweight and searching for a compliment about how they arent, we should say "hell yeah, you can afford to lose a few pounds". I absolutely hate it when i tell people how much i weighed in High school and they say things like "wow i cant imagine you weighing any less" because well i can afford to lose some weight and still be quite healthy. I say this all as i am chowing down on some birthday cake!! i miss you, come back to work!!
