We talk a lot about health and fitness, but how serious are we? All we hear about on the news and everywhere else is how fat we Americans are in comparison to the rest of the world and guess what, it’s true. Even the Orientals when they move to our country have proven that eating our fast food junk has made them fat. Are the fast food chain and the health and fitness field in cahoots together?

The health and fitness field is a booming business and they sell us everything from supplements, equipment, gym privileges, special clothes to wear and diet pills with special diet plans to follow to help us get into shape. I think they give the fast food industry a kick back for making us fat so they can sweat it off of us and make more money. I’m not really serious, that was a joke.

Where I live we have a women that reports on TV about the obesity problems and guess what, she’s a doctor imagine that. Dr. Wanda Fowler and guess what else she’s also not the thinnest person I have ever seen. I’m not saying she is obese, but she is hefty and I find it difficult to listen to her even though it’s her knowledge that she is imparting.

I don’t care that she may indulge in a taco or whopper, but it’s really strange to listen to someone over weight tell me I should eat one way while she eats another. Maybe she has a glandular problem, but I would probably listen closer to someone that doesn’t just talk the talk, but then again I’d probably do what I feel like doing anyways regardless of what I know I should be doing.

Of course I worry about getting older and my health, who doesn’t? I’m concerned about social security and if it will be there when I’m actually old enough to draw it. I’m concerned about being a burden on the people I love, yet I continue to do unhealthy things. I would love to see national health care for everyone, it seems to work well in Canada and other places.

Many of us don’t go to the doctor and get the care we need because we don’t have insurance. Good health and healthy living has become the top priority in most peoples life because we want to live longer, but if we don’t get our economy and the world we live in fixed then what quality of life are all those healthy bodies going to experience? Just a thought!
