“Overweight and obesity is the second leading cause of death, killing 300,000 people a year, ... There is not a miracle pill that will lead to weight loss.” - Richard Carmona
As I went to a super busy Wal-Mart in American Fork last night, I was leaving the bathroom as an 11 or 12 year old was washing his hands. He had to be at least 250 pounds. I thought to myself... "how is it that one gets this way at such a young age". As Jordyn and I left the the store we were sitting in the car looking for something to do to pass the time for 15 minutes until we were going over to a friends house to visit. As we sat there we noticed the obese 10 year old walking out of the store towards a mini van that was parked diagonally across from us. There standing next to the van was a 15 year old girl with her own box of donuts and just devouring them. She too was an obese teen. As the boy approached the van his mom handed him his own box of donuts also and he began to devour them. The question is... is it the parents fault or the kids fault?... wrong... it is society's fault.
I thought to myself... poor kids... they have been incorrectly taught such an important principle. In our human life value, our physical realm is extremely important to have discipline in because it leads to an improved human life value as a whole. Yet this made me also realize how many millions of Americans or billions of people have been incorrectly, or worse not even instructed with any true principles through out their life.
The foundation of my principles, luckily enough, I learned in my youth. Yet the ground breaking, life changing principles were only learned after I earnestly sought further knowledge on subjects that I was not getting the results I wanted. I learned the power of seeking education and not through a formal public way of school.
Many will complain and disagree with this post, people will bring up things like "Some people have bad thyroids", "Some people have diabetes." Well those comments create interesting topics in them self. What causes these chronic diseases? By taking the time to analyze one's life and their current situation... through study and questioning... answers can be found. Think about it... with processed foods, pasteurized milk and juices, GMO seeds, wrongfully used grains and rice for cattle and human consumption and many other things we do to "end hunger" have left us, especially us Americans... malnutrition-ed. And not only malnutrition-ed, also super wrongfully nutrition-ed. This cause long term effects on a humans body.
The B Side To The Truth is our food system is jacked and the fundamental principles are not being utilized or even recognized in our society for the most part. To increase your human life value you must go out of the "normal social realm" and get answers to your questions. Unhealthy, processed foods do not have to destroy your physical realm.
