This aired on CBS Evening News last night. It’s an insightful look at the obesity epidemic in America, its implications on our health care system and the surprising rise in obesity we’re seeing in young people. Some, doctors warn, may face serious heart disease by their mid-20s.
High fructose corn syrup is rightly implicated, and the idea of a tax on junk food is touched upon.
An excellent piece, I encourage all to take a look:
This is really a problem. I’m seeing girls at school get heavier and heavier. They don’t seem to care about what they eat. They want the taste and don’t think about the nutrition. I wish our school would implement a nutrition program, give us healthier food choices and get all the soda and candy machines out of here!
