Rampant Obesity

Potbelly was the pride of the wealthy, the fatter they looked, the richer they were presumed; now days the rich have found the source of energy... by staying in shape and looking haggard. Rampant obesity is a real problem for the common people, and when it comes to eating habits, they're pound foolish: obsessed with a fat cuisine: tasty, elaborate and incorrigible.... and without the aesthetic concern, they try every alluring dish. In the palaces of the gentry many paintings displayed chubby Kings and Queens flashing their stubborn, monarch attitude, while the lower class was deprived of delicacies and envied their posture... little they they know that the gentility's haute cuisine was extremely unhealthy. Recently the U S Congress banned fast-food restaurants from using high fat products like cheap cooking oils and lards, to promote good health nationwide: hoping the public would be alerted and heed... overweight people can't lead a healthy lifestyle, and we all see their suffering indeed. Are you willing to make that overdue resolution and lose weight, not for the society's sake, but for your own heartiness?, Your well-being is very essential to your state of happiness... why is a toned body more agile and vigorous than a flabby one?
