We all know the obesity rate is rising not only with adults but more frightening are the dramatic rates of increase in obesity in children. We all know obesity is a direct result of what we put in our mouth. We know we should eat better and exercise more but that is often easier said than done. We as a nation must change now, as each generation gets bigger and bigger and sicker and sicker. Far too often low-income families believe they have no choice but to eat prepared and packaged foods. When in truth they can easily afford FRESH produce that will fill their families nutritional needs. They just need the opportunity to see it for themselves.
The Weight of the Nation is a dramatic film that needs to be seen by every family in this country. It identifies the non-food choices we are making. It offers lots of "new" choice options and community support throughout our great nation. This is not the other guys problem it is our problem as a city, a county, a state and as a nation as a whole. And, it starts with YOU and me and we can each do our share to help make a change for everyone. First: invest $20 and purchase a copy of this film for your family and share it with friends. Or you may find it at your local Public Library, as I did. Get your church or school to do a FREE public viewing then ask those people how they can help their neighbors become strong and vital.
Your friend in the kitchen, Judy L. Young
