HNWIC Say What?

Normally I would be blogging about the nigglets (2 and 4 legged) but today is different. I know that we are striving for a healthy America. Got that. But here is my problem with this.

Problem #1
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem...stop it already!! Not everyone can afford you and/or your food no matter which singer you have pushing your product. And by the way why are they all black singers? Really!!

Problem #2
Take this pill, that pill. Use this equipment, that equipment. Do this, do that. ENOUGH!!

Problem #3
Biggest Loser. Hmm. Public humiliation to lose weight. I don't think so!

Problem #4
With all these problems 1-3 being on TV we now have all these skinny as bitches saying "I'm fat" when really all they need is to tone and not actually lose weight thus making those friends who actually are feeling angry and bitter.

As a whole America I would like to point out 2 things. Badgering Americans to lose weight is only going to have the opposite effect. Not only is it going to have the opposite effect but also mentally damage not only those who are overweight but also those who aren't. Secondly, not all can be skinny. Some of us are not built to be a skinny minnie. Bone structure doesn't always agree with BMI. I am suppose to, according to BMI, be 125lbs. If I were to weigh 125lbs I would look sickly. I could also try and try to get down to that weight but it will never happen. The lowest I can go is 193 at most. So what does it all boil down to....stop badgering America into losing weight it will happen when we want it not when you guilt us into it or shame us into it. Not all can be a size 2 - genetics doesn't always work in a way that is suitable for societal norms or pressures. All this pressure to lose weight is not helping Americans to be healthy. It will cause a rise in depression and/or suicides though. If that is what we are aiming for- so far so good.

What are you up to now??

I love my kids. They make me laugh sometimes. Jon and I are sitting out in the living room watching The Voice and just as it's about go back to the show we hear "it's alive...alive!!" We started laughing but we both know that we shouldn't go back and investigate. We might find that they made their version of Frankenstein. Gotta bite the bullet sometime. BANZAI!!
