We’re #1! We’re #1! We are the most obese nation in the world!



Hey people, Darrin here again with Darrin online coaching.

I’m back at it again to talk about where we are as a nation when it comes to fitness; that is as opposed to where we should be.  

I, of course, am a huge fan of people getting fit.  That has a lot to do with my background in sports as well as my military experience.  As a former Marine I believe a person should always be prepared to do what’s necessary.  Regardless of the situation, whether it is serving our country or taking care of your family, you should always be ready.  That being said, we are not ready! To do anything! We used to be #1 in just about everything! We were world leaders in almost every category!  America, what happened?  I’ll tell you what; we took another number one spot:  the gold medal in obesity.  

Yes!  We are finally back on top!  No, not in sports, academics, or industry; we are # 1 in being fat!  Nobody in the world does it better than us apparently!  We are the most obese nation in the world!  Look, I know I am poking fun at a serious problem but you have to wonder, what happened to us.  Why have we have fallen so far so fast that we are now dragging our kids down with us?

Why is it ok to be overweight?  Why is it ok to be obese?  Why does it seem like we’re not doing anything about it?  These are serious questions that deserve serious scrutiny.  This is the road we find ourselves on, so buckle up; we are about to forge a new route on this journey.  We will be correcting the misinformed and misguided ways of the fitness mindset in America.  

This is not intended to put anyone down but, it is meant to be constructive criticism.  Self-reflection and evaluation are going to lead to a call to action!  America: The land of the free to be obese.  We will put  a stop to this, together.  We will help America understand how important it is to be healthy.
