Obesity in this country
In today's society and there are many causes that point directly to the increasing number of a huge issue of Obesity. Some of them include; lack of exercise, lack of a healthy diet and increasing portion sizes, but the list does not stop there. Obesity is becoming more and more prevalent in today's world. No state in the US has a prevalence of obesity under 20%. That number is too high. According to the CDC, the percent of adults over the age of 20 that are considered obese is 69%. These numbers have done nothing but grow over the years. Let's take a stand to obesity and do everything we can to make society a healthier population!

Miranda! I love your post about obesity! There is no doubt that the numbers are just continuing to increase as the years go by, and it is so sad. Hopefully, we all can take a stand together to get those numbers to fall again, and we can make a healthier country together. If we could just get society to see that eating healthy is not as expensive as everyone thinks the numbers would begin to fall automatically. Also, if we could get people to see that just 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity would make them not only feel better, but look better as well, those numbers would practically be at 0. Thanks for sharing this great blog!
