Life has kind of gotten in the way today.
In an attempt to keep up with my scheduled posting,I will ask that you please take time to watch Food Inc ,if you haven’t already.
It is an amazing documentary that provides insight into the country’s food industry.
It is available on Netflix and a host of other websites.
Here is the trailer.
I was standing in line at the farmer’s market yesterday,waiting to check out.Right in front of me was a family of five ;mother,father,son and two wonderful girls.As I stood there waiting for the line to move,I noticed something.One of the girls looked about no less than 8 and no more than 10 years old.What struck me about her was how overweight she was for her age and size.Now,don’t get me wrong,I am not trying to be mean or anything.A part of me was sad because I saw how hard she tried to run around and play with her sister.
The question though is who’s to blame??Is it her parents for making poor food choices on her behalf?Is it the little girls fault?Or is it the food industry’s fault?Childhood obesity is not an issue to be taken lightly and I think parents and concerned citizens should take an active stance in fighting it.WE need to make sure our future generations are healthy.I know it’s a long shot considering the forces that we have to put up with,but it can be done.
Make small changes in your eating habits.Do some physical activity.Advocate.Encourage children to make healthier food choices.Do something.We cannot sit by and watch our children go to waste.
