Obesity and Health

I read a blog by Karl Fisch called " Did You Know PE" in the Fischbowl. It is about an assignment that Mr. Fisch gave to his class. One student made a presentation on physical education in schools. She said how these classes were helping the U.S. from becoming to obese. Obesity today has tripled. Obesity causes health problems with heart attacks.

Many people today are becoming more obese. I believe we need to be more healthy by not being obese. Obesity causes heart problems like cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. By taking away physical education in schools we are hurting people by taking the health classes that give many people there little exercise of the week that may keep them from coming harm. PE an help prevent type 2 diabetes. Why do we all take advantage of our technology advances and not keep ourselves healthy by doing the hard work the rest of the world goes through?
