Too much

  How much is too much when it comes to eating, buying groceries or eating healthy?  I see many readings and food shows that stress so much on eating healthy buying healthy and eating less.  Although all those will help you change your lifestyle and lead you living a healthier lifestyle I feel like they are over exaggerating a bit. 

          You see many advertisements trying to promote all these healthy products, healthy this and healthy that for the consumers, and sometimes the consumers fall for it.  You see diet programs (like tons of programs) that supposedly would help you lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.  It almost seems like being healthy is becoming a marketing tool.  This is what capitalism America will do to you. 

         Too much is just too much, the term eating healthy has become a phrase that has been way over used.  I think we all know to eat healthy, buy healthy and stay healthy to the point it has become over exaggerated.  I see people who stress way too much on being healthy that they can’t even have some big juicy burgers with cheese and fries.  But with the regular meal of veggies and salads.  If people in America are so health conscious how come 60% of Americans are still overweight?  It really doesn’t make any sense at all.  I think that most Americans just want to eat whatever they want as long as it tastes goods.  Thanks to all the advertisements of the bad calories Americans have also fallen into the trap of buying bad foods.  See what the media could do to us?  Since us as citizens are stressing so much about being healthy, more than half of the population isn’t very health conscious.  Maybe we should just not over exaggerate the perks of being healthy but rather have the 60% of Americans experience how difficult it is to be obese. 

          It’s embarrassing enough to have Michelle Obama regulate healthy foods for school.  Can you believe that we have the government involve in trying to lower the obesity level in America?  I think they have other important issues to be stressing over but obesity has become a national epidemic. 

          I feel that the media should stop over exaggerating the health benefits of changing their sedentary lifestyle.  We all know how it’s bad for us cause we all have heard it before, but it’s up to the citizens whether or not they want to follow through it.
