Are You Fat?

America is one of the richest, most progressive countries in the world. Shouldn't it be one of the healthiest too? Maybe it should, but the sad truth is that Americans are some of the unhealthiest people in the world. Even though we are living in a country with great economic power and technological advancement, we are also living in a country with the smallest fund of practical nutritional knowledge. We are living in a land plagued with obesity.
America is home to the most obese people in the world. And with the very fatal disease of denial, some, excuse me, many people are in denial about the state of their physical health. It was a couple of weeks ago when the health ambassador of my house," my mom" decides she was going to set up a surprise consultation with one of her collegues, a medical weight loss specialist!!! Talk about sneaky.
A gloomy day, we drove to the Bronx, only to be told that I was obese! Outraged, by what I was hearing I thought to myself, how did I get caught up in the statics.......He showed me a couple of pictures that probably could have something to do with this problem. They were are a couple of my favorites I don't know about yours. He carefullu picked names for each of my foods which I found quite humorous which caused me to laugh. But with my mom in my face, she said it was a serious matter.
My first attack, was the picture of what he calls the heart attack cheese fries. So yummy, it was cheese-covered french fries with grilled onions, bacon and beef. Okay, here came my second offense, a picture of Ham and cheese between two bean and cheese quesadillas. Wait a minute, was Dr.Diaz talking to my mom. How did he know all this??? I couldn't say he was wrong so I had to sit there and listened. Last but not least was the the Clogger layers of scalloped potatoes and cheese wrapped in bacon. Oh, boy my mom did me in big time. I wasn't mad after she told me that she loved me and that I needed an intervention. She was concerned, and didn't want me to die due to poor health.
Rats, so what does this mean??? Sitting there the room stood still as my mind began to wonder? Questions like no more chicken quesadillas or kitchen sink pasta made me grow sad. Seconds later to break my concentration my mom kicks me. And I tune in to the doctor saying "moderation, everything in moderation. No more stacking , instead of two have one." With a sigh of relief , I said "I can do that."
So now I'm on a new journey to repair my health with healthy eating habits. Wish me luck America! What do you think? Have you ever been in my shoes? I'd sure like to hear. Well, this is Lundyn signing out----
A lard off my mind*
