Weight in America is increasing over 50 years
~ Cynthia G. Creel
I grew up eating what ever I wanted and could run almost all day without loosing my breath. My family was thin and healthy 50 years ago. Today, I have one Aunt alive, my parents are both long died from chronic diseases, one brother has type one diabetes, the other brother is ok and I almost died of a heart attack at 50? If I live another 50 years I will have been without my mom and dad twice as much as the time I had with them. History is telling us something 24 pounds increase:
