Jamie's Obesity Video

Today in class were watching a video, where Jamie's main focus was obesity. Many people worry about people getting killed and homicide and suicide as the main ways of dying, but actually it's heart diseases; obesity. We will live less then our parents because of the food there is now. Most unhealthy place were in west Virginia. His friend Brittany is sixteen but only has six years to live because of her weight. He explains to us that we should change our eating habits. Kids in school are being feed sugar, example: chocolate milk. It has tons of sugar. Food in school is being processed. But not only milk, but many foods contain a lot of sugar, but even food labeled low fat or no sugar. He is trying to make us aware of how food is now "fake." That you should go to local stands with fresh food instead of local grocery stores. I think that it is so true what he is saying.So many people are not aware of how bad obesity is, they do not take into consideration that this is a reason why people actually die. I feel that there should be more ways to show people and to make them aware of the choices they eat. Choosing food has to be done wisely, the consequences are not worth it.
