A Weight of a Nation

The Weight of a Nation

I saw so many true facts in this video that hits close to home. From the advertising to the

Lower end housing. I was never obese as a child and I was always fed, but I won’t be able to

say it was necessarily healthy. I pretty much ate what I wanted and if my mother was making

something I did not eat she made me a separate meal, and vegetables were never forced on

me. Now do not get me wrong I was not living in a area that was completely poverty level,

but the parks were not that great either so I never went I did on the other hand play softball

and cheerleading which kept me active. And it’s a shame because I past Brent ballpark and it

just looks run down compared to the ball park on nine mile. Parks that are in proverty areas

are Infested with drug dealings. I on the other hand live in a area I would not consider

Poverty, but middle class workers with a few of the bad seeds. And the closes park is 10 miles

away, and it is a wonderful park I take my little girl there all the time and I even get my heart

pumping and compared to all the parks in Pensacola I say this one is by far the best there is so

much to do there one doesn’t even know where to start. While other parks have a slide swing

and a merry go round and that’s it. Which goes to show where the money is spent

Women in this video were trying to do something positive by building a park for their

children it’s Just ashamed it took seven years to get the permits for it. I could not imaging

watching my kids play in a parking lot. But they made the best with what they had. Now as

far as the proverty level areas getting the prop...

... middle of paper ...

...diabetes. The Obesity in this company was alarming, causeing lost work days and over

70 billion to the Businesses each year. Most stated they ate ready-made meals, fast food and

skip breakfast Which is still the case for most American’s in 2014 but the companies these

days aren’t going To spend the money to treat or diagnose your obesity. If ones being

overweight is slowing Down there production they most likely will let you go instead

of going the route this Company did.

In conclusion, I know this video was about several things boiling down to unhealthy

eating, to children not having real places to really exercise and have fun at the same time.

So I felt I should apply it to my life, and basically say hey if you can buy chips at the bodega

For a quarter in a lower end neighborhood that’s what it should be everywhere. We are all

The same
