Why There Are So Many Overweight Americans

Sixty-five percent of America is overweight and scientists think over seventy-five percent will be overweight by 2015, as it tells you at this website. So many Americans are overweight and they hardly ever do anything about it and it's getting to be a big problem. While some people think so many Americans are overweight because they are couch potatoes, they have no reason to look good, their busy schedule or because they eat a lot of junk, the main reason is that they are just lazy.
Most people say the reason that so many Americans are overweight is because they spend all of their time being on the couch watching movies and eating fast food like a couch potatoes. Those people think they do this because they don't care how they look and they aren't active at all. Also, because they are so busy that they might not even have any time to exercise.
Americans' obesity starts because they are lazy. When they're young, people stay inside on the computer or watching television and eating while they do that. Instead, they should be outside running around and having fun. They get used to staying in and being that way and once they are older, they don't like being outside or doing anything that will help them exercise. Soon, they become overweight and they're too lazy and not used to exercising that they refuse to do it. Americans could also start gaining lots of weight because they are depressed and don't have any friends, so they stay home and eat and be lazy. Once Americans gain all that extra weight, they should be trying to lose it, but they are too lazy to exercise because it's really tiring, especially when carrying all that weight around with you. However, they shouldn't be complaining because it's not doing a lot compared to being healthy. Some overweight people don't want to go out exercising because they are embarrassed and don't want people to see them. Another reason that shows that they are lazy is that they always go to fast food restaurants. You don't even have to get out of the car to order and get your food! And places like McDonald's and Burger King have about a million calories and tons of fat in each burger! Still, people go there anyway because it's easy and convenient and so familiar. If they ate real food and something healthy sometimes, that would help a whole bunch! I think one other thing that many people do is they plan to start exercising regularly and do something about their weight problem, and once they get to that time, they push it back and say "Oh, I'll just do it later, I've been too busy." We just make excuses for everything instead of just doing it.
These are some of the reasons that I think Americans are overweight because of their laziness. They stay home and watch television, they eat the worst food, they don't exercise and they don't do what they should, they just make excuses. This issue is so important because we don't want America to be so lazy and teach their kids to be the same way or else we will all be like those overweight people in the movie, Walle, that can't do anything for themselves. This is why we all need to stay active and try our best not to become overweight.

Co-existance with Egyptians and the Nile

There were many advantages that happened between the Egyptians and the Nile. One advantage for the Egyptians having the Nile River nearby was that it was easier to get food. There's always fish in the Nile River to eat and they could always be sure that the fish was there. They could also water plants to eat with the water from the Nile because they had learned hoe to farm because of having water!. The river probably attracted thirsty animals as well. Another good thing about having the river was transportation. Most cities were on the Nile because they needed water, so the Egyptians could just boat from city to city. The Nile helped a lot with so many things. Families started moving together and growing their own food instead of having to follow it and that made communities which soon turned into cities! The cities formed governments and people got jobs and money. There were so many great advantages that came from the Nile river!

Why do people decide to be come vegetarian?

People decide to become vegetarian for several different reasons. One reason that people decide to do it is because they try to be cool. Vegetarianism became a popular trend last year and many kids decided to do it. Although many people only did it so people would think they're cool, many people did it because what they do to the animals is wrong. The cruel people that slaughter and hurt the animals do it so brutally. Slaughtering live animals and fattening chickens until they can't hold themselves up and getting their beaks sliced off. Cows getting separated from their mothers less than 24 hours of being born. Peta investigators found someone slicing off live bird heads and using the blood for graffiti. This is so wrong, I know people will always eat meat and kill animals, but a lot of this is pointless. I am very proud for the people who realize this is wrong and have cut meat out of their diet. How would you like this to happen to you? If you'd like to check out this booklet to learn more, click HERE.

Puppy Mills

I was just looking at this website, which is a website for fighting animal cruelty. While I was on it, I noticed this article about puppy mills and read it. A puppy mill is place where they breed puppies, but they use all the money they get from it for themselves, instead of using the money to keep the dogs healthy. The breeding at puppy mills are performed without caring for the dogs, and many of them get heredity defects. Later, these dogs are often sold to pet shops. in puppy mills, many dogs are usually squished into a small, dirty cage, which is way to small for them to live in. They don't get treats, toys, exercise or grooming and their cages have wire floors that hurt their legs and paws. If you are a person who cares a lot for animals, and are maybe a vegetarian or vegan, i think this would be a good website that would interest you. The entire idea of hurting and not caring for living animals, just to get money is horrible, and i completely disagree with it. A way to fight against is, is to not buy dogs from pet store, or any dogs from somewhere that you can't see it's entire facility and meet the mother dog.

Vegetarianism

As part of Team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. I can notice a lot of co-existence, being a vegetarian. I've been vegetarian for a year now, since August 30, 2008. There is a BIG problem with co-existence between people and the animals. I'm sure the animals are NOT happy with people hunting, abusing, killing and eating them, and I know people aren't happy with not eating meat, even though it's not near as bad as it is for the animals. Everyone has their different opinions, and I respect that, I just wish we wouldn't put other lives in danger. Poor, little pigs, cows, chickens and other animals are mothers, fathers, and children. I just think people should think about being in the animal's position and realize how wrong it is, it'd really make a difference. I just wish that'd people understand.
