Obesity Epidemic

It is rather scary to think about the obesity epidemic and how much it has increased over the past decade or so ago. People have to realize that this is a problem that should be focused on more than it currently is. Due to the fact that I want to be a health and PE teacher, this issue is extremely important. One way that we can try to decrease this statistic is to make PE mandatory for all schools, and make certain that obesity is discussed in all health books. At least young kids and teens will get a fair amount of physical activity and an awareness about this subject.
