Freeeeeewriting

Problem paper; child obesity

have to show more stats about child obesity. Make my paragraphs longer and more persuasive...i think im going to play the devil's advocate...
...Why are chillin fat like really...who cares?, I see fat kids all the time and dont flip out. why would someone even want to read what I have to say on fat kids? Ads like larger kids when it comes to food, they do appeal to their demographic. Maybe the more healthy a person is, the better off they will be. I did hear that if you eat healthy you can actually heal wounds faster
...maybe I should eat healthy, I do have 2 bum toenails (or lack there of). Practice what I preach. About 70% of my solutions that I propose I dont even do to get healthy so why even put them in there? People can read papers and articles like this all they want, but it all comes down to action, and that is the hardest part oh getting kids to lose weight. There are thousands of methods to get slim and I could really care less. If I want to get fit i will do it on my own.

I did propose the solution of more gym time in schools in my solution paper...you know Hitler saw that physical fitness was important to society and added a lot of gym time in his schools...that sounds a lot like our society today. Just look at the entertainment industry. Children shouldnt be really overweight though I mean it is bad for your health. Perhaps scaring kids into getting thin isnt the way to go, i mean you have the parents, if they arent living a "healthy lifestyle" then the kids wont....so whats really the problem here?

Everyone BUT the obese kids??
schools
parents
fast food resteraunts

What if it is the kids fault? i mean they are after all obese, but can they really help it? maybe the obese kids are proud of their size

Yeah this is a problem, but arent there bigger ones out there? Look at our economy I would say thats a bigger issue than kids who are obese. And stats are showing now that obesity rates are declining...slowly but hey its a start
Is child obesity an issue? yeah, but how big of an issue is it? Sure the articles you read including my own paper will make it seem like its the biggest problem ever but is it really??

what about parents who want their children to be healthy - what about children who have glandular problems - obesity, at any age, is tied to diabetes, heart attacks, lung failures, depression, and so on

to assume that ALL of those who are obese are proud of it would be a generalization - some may be saying that just because they see no alternative to the lifestyle they have lived for so long - but that statement is in itself a generalization

i had two uncles who were very obese and died of heart attacks just after they turned 40 - it doesn't run in my family, they just chose a lifestyle that was not healthy

one point you might want to raise is denial - my uncles always said they would be fine - see if people are unwilling to admit to the health risks of obesity and how that can harm them in the long run

i feel bad for kids that are obese. their habits are hard to change because they learned it so early and the parents don't help.
