Wake Up and smell the Frech FRIES!

Today you can read a study published by National Center for Health Statistics exposing the future problems of healthcare and confirming it is not about healthcare, but about your health.  Yes, they are starting to advise the public about our "growing" problem.  As Americans expand around the waist band so will our healthcare bill - no matter who pays the bill.  Our numbers look good today,  but it is in the future where the problem lurks.  In the 55-64 year old range, obesity has risen to just under 40%  and high blood pressure to 50% of the population.  WAKE UP!  Our country is sitting on a time bomb and the the 55-64 year olds are just the fuse.  The report fails go further and look into the real BOMB.  The danger our nation faces is the 1-54 year olds because their health is going to be worse than the 55-64 year old when they reach this pre-retirement age. Studies show we get our eating habits from OUR PARENTS, advertising and TV - Oh help us now!  Obese people will raise obese children.   If we are to exist as a nation, this cycle must be broken.  As the healthcare industry has extended our life expectancy, they have NOT IMPROVED our health (oh they may MASK the problem, but the problem still exists - garbage in garbage out).   The corporations in the healthcare industry PROFIT from extending the life of SICK - UNHEALTHY Americans, just check out the top 15 healthcare and drug stocks and you will see.   Take action today for you, your family and our Country -   GetFitNow!
