Group: America's obesity problem is hurting national security

Some 9 million Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 are too obese to serve in the military. Add to that young people who are unfit for military service for other reasons and just 25 percent of America's youth are able to serve in the military. A group of retired military leaders are encouraging America to get a handle on its weight problem.

The post is hilarious, but there is a point in this post. We are not at all concerned about our health. This is the reason that we are getting too fatty. It is high time that we change our food habits, otherwise we will reach nowhere.
