The obesity epidemic is out of control in America

Article Review   by:Queenbeequill75     Original Author: Nafeesah Abdullah

The obesity epidemic is out of control in this country due to poor diets, lack of exercise and overall lifestyle choices. It seems now that African-Americans and Hispanics are right up there when it comes to new cases of diabetes and hypertension. Much of those cases are due to the fact that those who are newly diagnosed are severely overweight to morbidly obese. The hard thing that comes with the territory is that many lower class communities and neighborhoods are seemingly being flooded with fast food places like McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, White Castles, and other well known burger places. You go into these places and the majority of the workers there are overweight and some are obese. Most African-Americans and Hispanics are not aware of how serious hypertension and diabetes is especially for men since it can affect their sexual health by developing a condition called Errectile Dysfunction Disorder. Most of these conditions are due to excess weight and lifestyle choices.
