OBESITY IN AMERICA

The after effect of the MILITARY DRAFT suspension has taking its told on this GREAT NATION. I’m referring to the overwhelming amount of OBESE people in America. You are questioning the relationship of one with the other.

Well let me explain, since we did away the MILITARY DRAFT(Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force) our young men of this GREAT NATION, has from that point forward put on enormous amount of weight to the point that some are labeled as FATSO, POT BELLY, SLOBS and so many other derogatory slur words. Believe it or not, this has come to the point that these words are no longer offensive to the parties that fits the description. The reason of this is as time goes by they are becoming more and more promiscuous in our society, and they are under the impression that their physical condition is the norm.

When we had the MILITARY DRAFT our men were trim and fit, and ready for whatever duties our GREAT NATION had in mind for them. This was due to the regimental and disciplinary mandatory exercises required of them. Thanks to these men there were a great deal of women that mirror the physical fitness in as much as they were not subject to the DRAFT.

Compare our non military men with those of other countries where the military DRAFT is in force. Our men are overweight at a rate of one in four. This is an unacceptable ratio; this put our GREAT NATION at a disadvantage in readiness and productivity. This situation takes its toll on our economy. How can we associate these two? Well they go hand in hand the OBESE are more apt to have some medical condition or the other, and when this happens the work force is affected due to absenteeism, and normally the medical condition does not improve, henceforth the individuals involve end up in the SOCIAL WELFARE syndrome.

Several remedies are in place to curve OBESITY. The health enforcers on Capitol Hill has demanded the fast food chains like the McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Wendy’s, Church‘s Chicken etc. reduce the fat calories, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates and protein involved in their menu. In reality the products that they were using are the same utilized prior and during the DRAFT. This will lead us to believe that this is not the solution to the problem.

Some of the OBESE are looking outside of the Government health enforcer’s remedies. They are joining Health Clubs and Gyms. However this is a band aid, not the cure. The Government should implement some kind of required once a month military style training for these individuals, I assure that this will work, and also increase productivity in the work force, and reduce the health burden on the Medicare, Social Security SSI and all other Government sponsored health programs. Not to mention the great pool of able bodies that will be available for our National defense at a moment notice.

LET me reiterate I’m not for government intervention in our life style. But in this case they have my full support.

We need to discontinue looking the other way on this matter. It will appear that not only productivity is involved in OBESITY. This situation has also reduced the population growth of US citizens. The lien and trim persons walking the street of America are the product of immigrants, of which the majorities are illegal aliens. With the exception of the Mexicans, since a great number of them are OBESE and their population growth has not diminished.

This situation is changing the face of our GREAT NATION at an unacceptable rate. It will sooner or later make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. Are we the legal? Product of this country going to allow this situation to continues. The answer is in your ball park

To compound the situation, CONGRESS is addressing GOVERMENT assisted insurance for ten million children, I wonder were they are coming from? Are we going to send the Insurance bill to Presidente “FELIPE CALDERON” of Mexico or the tax payers of this GREAT NATION is going to foot the bill?
