Getting High
to Bring Down Obesity from All Time Highs
The results
are in and obesity is at an all time high
Almost one
in three packing too many pounds and will too soon die
Gaining weight
you do not need seems to be increasing trend
Despite all
the weight loss diets and schemes ads on TV vend
The power of
the fork with no restraint
Has to be
the source of obesity complaints
With its
fellow culprit the spoon used to excess
More pounds
to on the joints, heart, and pancreas more stress
3500
calories surplus to create an extra pound of fat to store
Sadly not too
many trips to open the refrigerator door
The more you
weigh the more with exercise you burn
But with the
fork and spoon in high repetitive mode, nonobesity hard to earn
As millions
struggle to shed the pounds, to regain that long lost body slim
Lusting
after that bigger or second portion, almost living in the gym
There may be
a slim, ray of hope
Look to the
state where obesity on the downward slope
The
skinniest state is not California where bikinis and tan lines rule
No not the
case, look to the mountains and another set of tools
Colorado
with about one in six topping the obesity scales
May have the
weight loss solution without diet or exercise that does not fail
Weed there
is legal to recreationally buy and be enjoyed
A few tokes
and the urge to overeat is destroyed
Will we soon
see Dan Marino pitching NutriSystems Weed with his team on the beach?
Or Marie
Osmond taking a toke on a bad day but with a smaller dress size within reach?
Too early to
predict but obesity is a disease we need to over which we must prevail
Even if it takes
a joint a day to look less like an inner tube and more like a rail.
