America's New Epidemic and The Vegetarian Lifestyle

There is a rising epidemic of obesity in America today. This epidemic spans the entire demographic mix of this country. Sparing no segment of the society, this epidemic is as wide spread in children as it is in the adult population.

A cusory look at America's schools, reveals a chilling and sobering situation, children lumbering around with excessive weight.

In addition to the health implications of obesity, these children are being scared by the feeling of inadequacy and low selfesteem that come with obesity.

My feeling is that one of the major contributors of obesity in these kids is the lack of vegetables in their diets. I have watched these kids dump whole servings of vegetable in their lunch and that may be the only serving of vegetable the get for the day.
