Hey Fatty

"Well, if its only 30 cents more, you might as well get the larger size!"


I'm sure you all have made such choices in ones lifetime. Is it a crime ? Are you over indulging when going for the extra side or larger size soft drink. Certainly not. Unfortunately when you read that obesity is the number one killer in the united states whom can you blame? Do you blame the producer of such foods, the marketers the advertisers, the FDA, the economy and even perhaps your own mother? I mean honestly look at all the measures that have been taken to market such products as cereal, McDonald's Carl's Jr. pizza hut etc. Certain companies target certain demographics. Look at McDonald's for instance; they target, in my eyes, children. A happy funny clown with the promises of fun and a free toy in ones "happy meal" Ah yes i do remember the happy feeling i acquired through that little "happy meal". Carl's Jr and pizza hut's marketers have discovered the psychology for adults through sexual influence. I don't know about you but sex and eating is something i like to do on a regular basis; why not combine the two. Carl's for instance uses Paris Hilton in a skimpy out fit chowing down a scrumptious burger; Pizza hut has an add with two sexy Blondie haired blue eyed twins arriving at your door delivering a hot steamy cheesy pizza. Wow, i say! I need to order now; hopefully the twins will be awaiting me. Advertisement is a billion dollar business. These companies have spent so much money convincing you how great and convenient and cheap their food is, they have actually spent more on the marketing and advertisement than the food itself . Crazy right! The FDA actually over rules the serving of healthy less calorie meals at school lunches because it does not meet the surplus standards. Instead of serving out children appropriate healthy meals, they are serving them processed greasy , genetically modified foods. My mother? i cant blame her, she was just doing her best. Right? Well yes all mothers try to make the right choices to feed their children healthy foods. However when you have these constant advertisement of these modified foods , sometimes its hard to say no to your child's request. All in moderation my dear mommies. Unfortunately mothers have more than the advertisements to fight against. Mothers these days fight against the economy and straight up convenience. "Junk " food is far more cheaper to attain than a healthy meal. These "happy meals" and value meals are also much more of a convenience to any mother than actually going to a grocery store and buying the food and preparing a healthy meal. Its hard nowadays. you cant blame mom for trying to pull it off in good time and still satisfying our stomachs. So who to blame?You cant blame anyone but yourself. As an adult we have the reasoning power to make choices in everything we do especially or daily consumption.


I'm writing this blog in regards to myself. Yes i am one of the many Americans that fit into this cataclysmic category of obesity. Sad but true. I have been searching for the answers on why my weight has spiralled into what it is today. For the longest time i was blaming it on my family life and the stress of it all leading me to comfort myself through food. I blamed the economy for such cheap easy to grab and go foods. i even blamed my own mother for allowing me as a child to imprint these bad eating habits; for not stopping me when enough was enough. I even now blamed people like the FDA , the surgeon general, the food corporations for not labeling their food properly. But no i say That is not the case however, it is the personal decision i made not to take care of my health. Now as an adult i have the choice to do the research on what i put into my body. I have the power to make healthy choices despite the economy and whats cheaper and whats convenient to me. Its time for me to start things in right way. Healthy choices, well portioned meals and a daily regiment of exercise. My goal is to turn this experiment of advertisement, false food labels, exercise lacking, economy driven, convenient controlled body of mine into what natural selection has designed for me to be. No more excuses i say. Please do not get me wrong; there is nothing wrong with indulging in the food of convenience or eating a bowl of sugary cereal. or even munching on that snickers bar: But i do proclaim moderation in all and self awareness of whats going into our bodies. Things like obesity and heart disease liver disease, diabetes are a growing factor in this great nation of ours. Just please be aware. Even you skinny fuckers out there. yes you!. Just because you are a size two doesn't mean your arteries are filled to the rim with cholesterol. most of all if this generation adults recognize the dilemma then we can make the change for our future, our children; because they are the ones that will carry on. Sooner than later the problem can cease to exist and we can all start now.......and hey fatty its never too late
