I think that the US is a tough place to live at times. McDonalds on every other corner and Starbucks on the others make it quick and easy to eat unhealthy. I have heard some people say that it only hurts themselves, when they eat bad and don't exercise. The truth is it hurts us all. I don't think every person needs six pack abs and ripped arms. But I feel that we need to be healthier than we are now. All we are doing is showing bad habits to our children. My wife is a soda drinker. Mainly she drinks Coca Cola. My 2 year old daughter has started drinking it too. I have made a big contention with my wife to at least move to Diet, No caff soda and move my daughter too. Eventually, hopefully sooner than later, my wife and dauther will stop altogether. It is just unsafe.
My father, in Tn, works with a man that is a tri-athlete. The man is as healthy as anyone my father knows. Last week the man had to have emergency open heart surgery or he would have died. That kinda stuff puts things in perspective for me. I gotta be healthy to prolong my life for myself and for the future generations that follow, like kids and grand kids.
