Isn't it your choice to eat at fast food? even at a nice dining restaurant has salad/soup choices for you. I consider myself among the ranks of fattitude. remember the 5 levels of fatness... there's big, healthy, husky, fluffy and DAMN! im just healthy. but i am quite proud of myself for staying around 170 this year since the end of the summer. I lost 20lbs over the summer and have only gained 5lbs since august. My lil secret... Stop eating when you first feel your body telling you that you are full! I didn't realize that i ate so much before the summer... now i eat a decent serving every meal and my intake of fruits and veggies increased. Oh and water is a miracle drink... if you get tired of water... iced tea works like a charm why eliminate fast food? doesn’t fast food have healthy choices on their menu’s??

I'm not one to usually blame parents, but I think it's hard to blame anyone else for instilling kids with poor eating habits, a tendency to not be active, and for making them fat. I overcame this, and probably have gained something in the struggle (and I don't hold anything against my parents for my previous fatness), but kids don't make themselves fat at a young age. It's no excuse to continue being a fatterton, but it can be hard to overcome habits pressed on kids from birth. Also, we all like fast food and it's totally unAmerican to just ban something, but if you eliminated it I think we'd see much less obesity, especially among young people. Not saying we should eliminate it but the convenience, price and portion sizes all lead to fatties. While it's ultimately up to the individual, if we were really concerned about health, we wouldn't just blame the individual. Something is obviously going on societally if more and more people are getting fat and dying young because of it. We've all got the rest of our lives to live (and notice the minuscule amount of obese people who make it to an elderly age). Being inactive and eating crap just isn't worth it.
