Talk about frightening, I woke up today to some absolutely devastating news: More than HALF of the adults living in the European Union are either overweight or obese. What’s worse, it’s the young people that are making that figure grow even faster!

When experts were asked why this influx was occurring, many attributed the weight gains to “Diets based on fatty and sweet ingredients combined with lack of physical activity account for six of the seven top factors leading to poor health.” According to the article I just read, the European Commission is not happy about this, having warned the whole continent of impending danger, but nothing serious was done to fix the problem.

The problem is, the problem is Everywhere. Everyone from senior citizens down to our toddlers are affected and it’s making each generation progressively bigger than the previous one. What’s most frightening to me: “In the 27-nation bloc, the EU says that over 21 million children are overweight. ‘’Even more worrying is that the rate of increase of that number is more than 400,000 children a year.'’” Wow.
