America – Land of the Obesity

I was watching this CBS news report online about the obesity problems in America. Two third of Americans it seems are obese, that’s astounding!

I do hope the new health bill in America will do something about the rising obesity issues. The problem I believe starts at the home, and with the parents. If your dad and mum are ignorant about eating the right food, and knowing the importance of exercise, their kids will follow suit.

Then there’s also a small fraction who are genetically predisposed to being fat, and the increasing cases of psychological linked problems with food as their means of escape and comfort. All are sensitive and complicated issues at hand, but nonetheless solvable with the right treatment.

So don’t give up yet people, it’s all about taking that first step and action. You can do it!

On a hind-note, well being an opportunist that I am, I’ll probably get more clients there than here in Singapore. Well give me five years to get myself more certified, and I shall be singing Chantal Kreviazuk’s “Leaving on a jet plane” … All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go.
