Our country is growing more and more ill by the day. It makes me sad to look around and see how unhealthy we are making ourselves. Fast food (and I'm not just talking drive thrus) seems easier now but really it causes you problems in the long run and eventually takes it's toll. Not only are adults feeling these growing pains but our children are too. I read this article this morning regarding Type 2 Diabetes in children. It gives the statistic that 17% of pediatric patients are overweight! That is nearly a quarter of of our countries children! We need to do better than this! I know it seems hard to take on. Where do we start? We start with ourselves! Make a change in the way you eat be and example to those around you ESPECIALLY your children! I challenge you to learn something new about what you are eating today and share it with someone else!
