Can the Obesity Epidemic Be Resolved?

As a gamer, I’ve been quite sedentary in front of the computer. Video games go well with chips and soda. It was only years later (now that I am in my mid-30’s) that I feel I’m paying for all of the sugar. But it’s never too late — I’ve gone back to the gym and removed soft drinks (SODA WATER FTW!!!) from my diet.

One of the biggest problems in terms of health in this country is obesity. There are hundreds of different health organizations that continuously report on the fact that obesity is now a leading cause of death because of the associated health conditions. This includes type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. It is no secret that there is a true obesity epidemic in this country.
