Obesity Increses Dramaticly
According to the New York Times obesity is becoming a huge problem. Over 30% in nine different states, obesity is rising dramatically. Over a phone survey 400,000 people were surveyed their height and weight. A majority of the people lied saying they were a little taller or a little lighter. However it doesn't change the fact that each year starting from 2000 ending at 2009, obesity is becoming a huge problem. People are dying from complex heart problems, strokes, and other causes that persist with obesity. In my opinion this is a huge problem. The amount of adults diagnosed with obesity doubled, and in kids tripled. People need to get exercise daily to have healthy bodies. Eating right is crucial for avoiding obesity. The right amount of fruits and vegtables can help this obesity rate. The fact obesity in America is rising too high and needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/health/nutrition/04fat.html?_r=2&no_interstitial&emc=Google-Earth

Hi :)
First off obesity is becoming a HUGE problem. I am tired of seeing people eating at fast food places all the time. Is it that hard to find a healthy snack to eat? Obesity is becoming a big problem with all the health concerns. Even though fast food fuels our economy I still think that over eating and eating greasy fatty food is a problem. Americans need to change their ways and start eating healthier and working out alot more to turn this country into the FIT capital of the world.
Peace
Oh and by the way you spelled Increases wrong duh. :)
