Last night was the season premier of my favorite show, "The Biggest Loser". If watching that show doesn't motivate a person to be healthier, nothing will.
The show opened with these powerful statistics:
"For the first time in American history there are more obese people in the U.S. than merely overweight people."
"Two out of three of us are fat."
"An epidemic disease."
"For the first time since the Civil War, life expenctancy is predicted to drop. And the main reason: obesity"
"You can start with heart disease, cancer, diabetes."
"Childhood obesity rates in this country have tripled."
"This is the number one public health challenge of the United States."
"Instead of just talking about this problem, we have to act."
"The First Lady is right, we must act now."
