What Is It Going To Take?
In a world where obesity has become such an epidemic, what will it take for a change to take place? It is hard to see how anyone or group can be organizing exercise groups or physical activity pyramids and putting them to use. This sort of thing doesn't make the news or even the discovery channel, instead we see "World's Fattest Man" and "World's Fattest Man Gets Married." The way they have made this man some kind of celebrity is just sick to me!
I think it's great that Scotland promotes a more active lifestyle and that Island County has the physical activity pyramid, now if we could get people to go by this all over the world we might have a fighting chance. I believe that today people are so busy in their lives working and getting food on the table that come some down time, the thought of physical activity is exhausting let alone actually doing it. I work full time and I am taking three classes, so to squeeze exercise in there I thought I'd get up thirty minutes early every morning, I made it twice before giving up, so I get how finding the time can be hard. But at least eat right and put in a little physical activity throughout the day. You can do exercises while sitting at your desk.
So, if we could adopt the traits that it takes to stick to a physical activity pyramid or maybe bike to work or school and eat healthy we might be able to beat this epidemic, but as it sits right now I only see the problem getting worse. Maybe more people should use the MyPyramid Tracker, maybe that'll give them a wake up call.
