A public health concern that I feel should be brought to the publics attention immediately is the ever rising obesity rate in the United States among kids and adults. I feel that way because the government is steadily taking a PE from schools across the U.S.. And our kids are suffering because now they don’t get there required physical activity in and are now becoming more and more lazy. More and more kids are now not playing outside like they should and stay inside on there game systems such as PS3, and Xbox 360. Most kids now love to eat unhealthy fast food like McDonalds everyday and for every meal.
The reason obesity should be addressed is because it’s a proven fact that the United States has the most unhealthy and overweight people in the world. I also believe we should take action before this epidemic takes over everyone’s life and our love ones start to lose there lives over it. Obesity is an issue few have paid an attention to over the years but nowadays people are actually concerned about the issue. Some people who believe in it now have become obese and realize the harmful effects it causes to there bodies. It makes you overweight, and you could lose your sex life or it could end a relationship between couples.
Overall I feel that the government since they so called care about the people should do something about obesity as soon as possible. If they delay in there efforts to attempt to do something then they will have to face the biggest problem they have ever faced in there lives. They will have to deal with an overweight, lazy society of people who don’t work or exercise. And all they do is eat and sit down and do nothing.
