With all the weight losing programs, supplemental medicines, fitness programs etc, Americans has still managed to score themselves as the most obese nation on earth.
Why is that? Most of the people blame it on a culture of fast food, not enough exercising, video games, and technology. Whatever are the reasons, individual responsibility is hardly mentioned. We as individuals are very good at blaming other factors for our obesity but we should also take our responsibility seriously too. I know that the ads regarding fast foods are all over the place, but it is the parents who can just say no to those things if they feel that is not good for their goods. Why the government does has to step every time to initiate a legislation to stop the growing trend of obesity.
There is another culture of suing everything and everybody in sight for your own actions. Everybody knows that burgers and sodas are not good to eat everyday. Excessive sugar and salt are not good for anybody be it a child or an adult, but still we may find some body suing the fast food industry for their own miseries and illnesses. It is not hard to have some self control over what we eat and what we should not, but it has to start from within and not every time we should be looking to the government to baby feed us with laws and regulations.
