I find it hard to judge, because I can understand that people who are overweight are there, they don't want to be there, and it's going to be hard to get out of the Snowball State that their in. Something needs to be done in America about the foods. All of this fast foods, and HUGE servings. Like when you go to a restaurant like "Red Lobster", or "The Olive Garden". Do you really need that big of a porportion. I mean you could feed five people just on one of the dishes. But there will be nothing that can be done, because it is already done, and yes there are some people out there who are trying to make an effort to cut the rate of obesity, but it simply isn't enough. I don't have the answer, but I think what should be done, is for Americans to follow the examples of the people of Japan and China. They have a great diet, and most of their population is thin and in great shape, and why? because they ride bikes most of the time, eat rice and vegetables, instead of big macks and super french fries. Is there not something in this picture that anyone could clearly see???? Something needs to be done! The only question is: HOW?

"Americans to follow the examples of the people of Japan and China.

But you will not ever get them to change!

Only one thing comes to mind: Awareness. Unfortunately, people CHOOSE to be this way and either don't know better, don't care or opt for the quick meal (fast food).
