I think obesity is a big problem in the U.S. People eat way too much and it's out of moderation. They don't even do the basic and simple exercises, but I don't only blame the people, I blame the food. Factories are making foods with too much fat. Fast food restaurants are the biggest problems. People get addicted to that and can't stop eating. Some people actually want to lose weight and try but some people just don't care about beng healty.

Our country is #1 in obesity and thats because of fast food restaurants, we are also really high in fast foods. In my opinion I think that all fast food restaurants should be closed down, because they aren't helping people at all, they are just making food that has a lot of fat and making money off of it. Having an unhealthy and fat body can lead to many diseases that could even cause death. It is very important to be healthy and that doesn't only mean limiting your eating, exercise should also be done.

What I think most people do to lose weight is that they starve themselves. But in reality that isn't killing fat, its killing you. When you don't eat, your body lacks it's nutrients, so it breaks down your muscles to get them. You should be able to eat whatever you want whenever you want as long as it's in moderation and you continue exercising. This will lead to a happy and healthy life.
