America is fat … and getting fatter!

Filed under: Health Tips — Kathy Nelson @ 9:59 pm

I have to echo the question of a friend … ‘I wonder how sick we need to get before something is done?’

I hear it all the time – I don’t have any energy,  I ache all over, it sucks to get old, I feel bloated, I take so many pills, I can’t seem to lose weight, I’m depressed, I have skin issues, my allergies are horrible … the list of complaints goes on and on!

The attached Americans Are Fat, And Expected To Get Much Fatter, a recent article from NPR addresses the condition that America is in.

How about a solution?  There are so many ways to make a difference.  Suppose we start by supporting those farmers who are dedicated to raising grass-fed and pastured animals and those who are growing non-GMO fruits and vegetables.  How about requesting that our stores carry local, and non GMO, fruits & vegetables.  Making your voice heard by talking to peers, petitioning school boards for healthier lunch options for our children, calling your state leaders to request stronger legislation regarding our food supply are all ways of making a difference.  Above that, educating yourself, your families and your friends will bring greater awareness and WILL make a difference!
