Ever heard of the story that a guy sued McDonalds for being obese? I don't know if it's true, but I heard something like that. How crazy is that? T_T blaming a fast-food industry for being overweight. I understand that the hamburgers look oh-so yummy in the commercials, and that you can't help but to stop at McDo when you pass by for a quick snack .. but come on! It's not like Ronald McDonald is dragging you to the restaurant T_T you go there all by yourself. I admit, fastfood is very addictive
(and believe me, I know) but I really wonder how it gets to a point that you get really obese. I mean, don't you think about your health? A lot of people eat too much because they have personal issues, and it is satisfying if you scrunch down french fries with a large coke, but don't those people ever think .. ''ok, I'm gaining too much weight, I have to go to the gym?''. Around 72% of the people in America that go to McDo, are overweight! How could it get so far? They blame it on the seductive commercials, and the delicious posters .. but like I said, you choose to go there.
You know what bothers me the most? Parents that let their children get overweight! That really makes me pissed. Because the parents eat a lot, they do it to their kids too. That's really irresponsible =S Approximately 1 of every 3 kids in America has a weight problem! That's really not normal. I think the problem is also that exercising isn't obligated at schools, and the schools that do have gym only do it for like 45 minutes a week. Here in Holland, if you flunk gym, you will not go to the next year or you don't get your diploma. And we exercised for around 2 hours a week. It's really important that you force your kids to do sports nowadays. I've seen children at the age of 4/5 years old, and they walk around with a psp! when I was that young, I was playing with Barbie dolls and play-doh. But nooo! Kids these days need MGS to be entertained. Back in the day, I played with other kids from the neighborhood, forgetting time because we played hide-and-seek for hours. Now you have to beat the kids away from the tv and their wii. If they sit inside all day, and eat a lot of junkfood, no wonder that they get fat. As a parent, you should do something about it. But it's not only the fault of parents, schools can be blamed too. I don't remember that our school cafeteria sold anything healthy. I ate kipcorn
(I dont know the english word, so click here for a picture) with ketchup every day. Luckily for me, I don't gain weight that fast.
I saw this film last night called Supersize Me by Morgan Spurlock, and that was also the reason I started this blog entry. Click
here for info, read it so you know what the movie is about if you haven't seen it. I was bored, and was just flipping channels and I just randomly chose a channel. Then I stumbled on this interesting film. I knew that too many people in America are overweight, but I didn't know it was that bad! I personally always think that people who say that they've tried everything make up a lot of excuses. Exercising always works, the question is just how hard you trained. Diet pills and all that other nonsense is just a lazy, non-effective, weak way for trying to lose weight. Super Size Me really opened my eyes. I'm a big fan of junkfood, but since I've seen that movie I wanted to change my life. And I admit, I had these kind of moments before. Now I am strong enough to do it! The gastric bypass surgery really freaked me out because you saw those big surgery knives =/
Ok, normally I wouldn't fall for filipino guys, but Daryl Celis .. I fell like a block when I saw him perform on Idols (youtube)! If I could've vote, I would SPAM text messages, and he would've won! =P but nooo.. he's the first filipino guy that caught my eye. Even though I don't speak filipino, I could feel the emotion in his singing. You don't wanna know how many times I've pressed replay by now haha. So Daryl, if you ever read this.. you rock! and give me a call! 8) haha j/k *cough*
