Dear America ( English homework if someone could correct me please )
Dear America,
Overweight Nation,
You are today facing a growing problem called obesity.
More and more people and particularly teenagers, are getting fat.
Do you realize that one in four American adolescents is obese and that 66% is the percentage of American who are categorized as overweight.
You could say these are only numbers, but these numbers are the reflecion of the reality.
I am telling you this not because I want Americans get slim or look like Top Model, no I just want to tell you that I really care about your health.
Too many people die because they are too fat but you can change that.
Anything is possible, if you really want it.
I admit that it is important to savor what we have on our plate but do you really enjoy eating food that may taste good in your mouth but that is dramatically bad for you?
Listen to me, you should stop eating junk food! Believe me , the more you eat vegetables more you will enjoy them.
I know it's easy for me to tell you it, but the reality is more complicated, never forget that you are not alone, we are a nation, and i'll do my best for our country see the percentage of people categorized as overweight decrease.
Do sports, eat more fruits and vegetables and going on a diet won't be necessary for you!
We can change our way we eat and consume .
Never forget it when you eat a Big Mac with fries you eat 1204 calories while for the same calories you could eat 60 kilos of tomatoes.
