We as a society in the U.S. are fighting a battle that we are losing. A physical battle that can be won with the proper training and components that are readily available here to all of us in our great country. I am talking about the battle to stay fit and healthy in United States.
Right now the United States has the highest obesity rates in the world and it seems like that trend may not end anytime too soon. Compounding that fact is that some lawmakers want to end federal funding to projects that would build safer bicycle and walking paths. Now I realize there is a need to balance the budget and there has to be some federal cuts to help our country become more solvent but this is not the way to do it. Not when our nations adults and children are facing potential life threatening health issues because of our high rates of obesity. Like I have mentioned we as society in the United States can fight and win this battle to stay to fit because, there are all the necessary components within our reach to do it. Such as healthy food choices, exercise facilities, safe bicycle and walking paths. However we cannot afford to loose any one of these components especially with the U.S. obesity rates on rise in most of the 50 states.
In short, lets not make it harder or more dangerous for someone to consider exercising as a way to improve their health. As it is walkers and bicyclists face more road hazards and dangers everyday because of yearly increases of truck and car traffic. Please join me in the fight to prevent our Congressional Leaders from making ill conceived decisions based on short sighted monetary savings.
