Overweight babies becoming a grave concern in America
Hi there and welcome to September! I'm Heather DeMarco at the business desk and I'd like to focus some well needed attention on a growing problem in America.
There is a growing concern over overweight babies in our country these days and in addition to this more and more toddlers are unable to fit into car seats and strollers because of their body weight and their size. There was a time when this type of problem was never even a problem but for the past two years it has become a problem and now manufacturers are struggling to find ways to accommodate our fat babies and toddlers. Never mind our overweight babies and toddlers, the problem is also growing among our pre-teens and teens as well as among our adult population. It is estimated that one in every three American children is suffering from some form of obesity and that over 40% of our adults are estimated to be overweight. Do we really want to become a country filled with millions of fat and ungainly kids and adults? Do we really want our country to be populated with millions of persons suffering from such diseases as diabetes, heart conditions, and other similar types of disabling diseases? Do we really want our kids to become blind or visually impaired due to such diseases as diabetes? For face it, diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness these days and obesity is one of the leading causes of diabetes. What else do the health experts have to say or do in order to convince us that the time has come and is quickly going for us to take immediate action? What would it take for us to start eating more wisely and healthily? No, not those quick fix diets such as South Beach, Jenny Craig, or Slim Fast! Wise and healthy eating is what we need in order to fix this growing problem and if we don't start now then we had better prepare ourselves for the consequences.
When airlines start talking of making their seats larger, when clothes manufacturers start making bigger sizes and even extra, extra larger, and manufacturers of baby products start to talk about making larger strollers, larger high chairs, and larger car seats, then we it's time for us to take swift and immediate action to stop the growth of overweight Americans.
Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day holiday.
