Walk From Obesity

Each year I take part in a walk that donates all of their donations to researching obesity. Cancer, AIDS, and MS are just a few of reasons why people walk to donate money. Obesity is one that people hesitate to donate to. I know the thoughts of some are, "just stop eating". But contrary to what many believe, it is a disease that is taking over from children to adults. If this were so, why is it that even homeless people are sitting on the street begging for bread and and obese. If they do not have a disease that why didn't they drop to skin and bones? This particular man that I am referring to has been sitting in front of the post office for at least 3 years, hasn't lost a pound and remains obese. Hmm? I suppose this is why research is important for the future and keeping our children and generations to come healthy. See me if you'd like to support the cause.
