Living in a time where fast food outlets are never far away - Obesity is a real issue which we need to address. Looking after your body doesn't take much, but buckling into the pressure and convenience of fast food can be incredibly tempting - I know this myself.
From a quite young age to merely 4-5 years ago, I was quite the overweight child. I never really considered my weight to be an issue and I certainly didn't have the 'get up and go' attitude of doing something about it to make myself look fitter and healthier. This is where I believe we may be going wrong - it's more than easy to make diet plans and workout plans, but it's less about planning and more about action. You can set the best diet and workout plan in the world for an obese individual but unless you cut the nonsense and get out there, how will they ever start? I dealt with health issues, it was never comfortable having to accept and realise that you weren't healthy and that you were just a little too overweight to fit into a medium sized top that your grandparents had bought you for your birthday - which is why I believe if you want to make a change then don't just talk about it, get out and do it!
Everyone can bring action to this issue. Marketing companies can focus more on trying to put out a better message for healthier foods, food industries can go about looking to produce more healthy food on a mass scale. McDonalds and Burger King may still be around for quite a long time, but if the new generations to come can remain informed on how exactly obesity is affecting the world then we may be on the verge of creating a healthier, more green world.
