Go to the gym and exercise ...

E-Mail Print

"People make people obese" (Sept. 28, Letters) has opened my eyes to the laziness people display in our country. People do not realize how much 15 to 30 minutes at the gym will help balance out their calorie intake.

We're the fattest nation in the world not because of Burger King and-or McDonald's but because people cannot seem to find the will to make a homemade meal. People are lazy and to blame for their apathy. I can't agree more with the letter writer's suggestion to join a fitness club. If everyone joined a fitness club and worked out regularly, then there would be less obesity and we would thus be a healthier nation.
