Fat: The Truth

Let's be real. The U.S. is the fattest country in the world. The World. Do you know how large the world is? Children's obesity rates have doubled since 2000 while youth diabetes are up 30-50%. SMH. That's just fat!

How do we go from being once the world's most powerful country to the world's fattest country? Because we treat the symptoms and not the cause.

The average American takes in almost 3,000 calories a day. And the majority of that is unhealthy. Nearly 60% of Americans fail to participate in any type of exercise. But we're quick to take a pill to alleviate the symptoms caused from being overweight.

So take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what are you doing to fight the fat?
