Look at Health Like You Do Race, Religion, and Politics
There are three things that they say you should never argue over—those three things are race, religion, and politics. I’ll be honest, I want to argue. In fact, I want to fight—fight for our ability to make a change if we all had as much passion for health as we do all of these other things. People these days seem to focus on the things that they can’t control rather than on the things that they can, like their health.
Where are you directing your energy?
Look at how many people are fighting these days. We have people overseas being beheaded because they are Christians. We have people fighting and protesting over things like Black Lives Matter—which in actuality, ALL lives matter. We have people looking for safe spaces and blocking roads and bridges because we have a President who isn’t a politician and is outspoken on social media, so they protest. We have celebrities like Madonna coming out and saying she thought about blowing up the White House. Are you kidding me? If that isn’t some of the most f*cked up sh*t I’ve ever heard than I don’t know what is (potty mouth, sorry mom).
I’ll be honest, this whole article can go in a completely different direction on how much I don’t agree with what’s going on in the world today. But I’ll spare you, maybe we can discuss if we ever have an opportunity to sit down together in person. We have the right to make our voices heard, we have a right to stand and protest peacefully. Yet, when it comes to health, everyone is sitting down with their shades on hoping no one tells them the cold hard facts about their life choices. So, let me get this straight, it’s ok for people to belittle others based off of their race, religion, or political affiliation, but God forbit someone tells them that they are fat. It seems THAT f-word is more powerful than another f-word that comes out of some of our mouths these days. More than 60% of Americans are overweight. Not that we need to really say our nation is “fat” but what else exactly would you call it? Everyone is just big boned? Come on. You’re in denial if you don’t think we have a serious epidemic on our hands. People are eating junk!
