Dieting 101.

INTRODUCTION:

Ok, I know FINALLY I am putting this in here.

[Jeez you. You could have put it in YOUR blog you know!]

Ok so, we [I say we as in Cassie, Pastel, and I] are planning to do this little diet thing together this summer. It's not so much as a DIET, but it's a fitness plan; it has rules and boundaries, so we can't break them, or we have to pay the consequences.

So far, with the people that I have told about it, they want to join in too, and maybe if we get this thing off the ground, it can be a widely held thing going around. That would be pretty sweeeeet.

HEALTH ISSUES:

Considering that the many of us, or most of us [sorry Pastel] live in America, or near it, we are considered the fattest country in the world.

Now why is that you ask?

64% of Americans are overweight or obese, and a quarter of those people are obese in general.

That is extremely unhealthy. Speaking of health:
Obesity is becoming the second largest preventable cause of death in America according to two academic studies. A lot has to do with the choice of foods that people eat. Obesity also contributes to diabetes, heart disease and even deaths from the E. coli bacteria, which can be found in the bacteria in fast food meats. - Lissa Eriksson
