Kids that have risk factors already, China researchers have discovered, are showing early signs of hardening of the arteries.
There seems to be a big push all over the world to battle fat. It is directly related to several diseases and is said to be epidemic.
Many governments want to make new laws and restriction’s for restaurants as to what kind of food they serve and how they prepare them. Schools have already changed what kind of snacks they carry in the machines and in the lunchrooms.
This is not the answer to battle the bulge, though it may help on a temporary basis, at least in schools. Though we still want the government to advise us, they do not and should not have the right to force us to eat a certain way.
I believe that we need to find out why we like to over eat, and why we like to eat foods that are not so good for us.
I know for myself that food is very important to me. I over indulge, but I also know why. When I was a child food was what joined the whole family together. It was how we celebrated and came together. My fondest memories are of my grandmother, aunt, and mother in the kitchen preparing feasts for the holidays. Of course there were vegetables served, they were usually made with cream sauces, and lots of butter or margarine. This is what we have to address because if someone really wants that unhealthy food they will find a way to get it.
