America, What are We Thinking…..
July 17th, 2008Hello My Friends,
I have been thinking alot about where we are going and where we have been. I am about to say things you may not like, yet I have to say them! I have to make a stand…NOW!
I watch the world, no one is saying anything! Why…! As an American, I am disappointed! Our children are overweight, they have no leadership, most don’t have a mother or a father together, they have one or the other. WHY? I don’t know, yet let’s look at the kids, look at the truth, make them exercise, teach them the love of being outdoors and having fun, be it baseball, soccer, football, or track, swimming, tennis, or just walking with someone they care about, plus they can alway’s play a musical instrument, that helps too. It is up to us to teach our children the joy of living. It is a joy in case you have forgotten…! Yet we must teach them how to eat right. Be healthy, and not give in to the advertising which takes you the wrong way. I know kids today say well, what is the right, or wrong way? I say follow your heart, you know what’s right and wrong. At the same point it is hard with food, some just don’t understand…! WELL LET’S HELP THEM….! Vegetables, Fruits, No soda, juices instead, and exercise, and believe in themselves…! We must make them believe in themselves, that’s the most important…..!
Children need leadership for they don’t know, they have no life experience, they look to the people that they believe in and love! They have no other options, do you understand what I am saying to you? I hope so!
Now, I am not going to be so nice! We, the American People have been letting our children down, WHY, I’ll tell you. We promote Freedom, Civil Rights, and Democracy! That is what I love about this country…! Yet, do we really promote that to our kids, or is it all politics? We have forgotten about the children. I see it everyday, people dropping the kids at the mall, dropping them here, and there, and everywhere. We need to teach our children we love them and how to take care of themselves and how to eat and be healthy! Plus we need to spend time with them to show our love. Then they will understand love, freedom, civil rights, understanding, caring, and democracy, for they will be healthy, in mind and body….YEAH! Yet only some of the lucky ones have the opportunity to see this.
My doctor friend said, why are we the most over-weight country in the world? I started to look at what we do as a country and it made me sick…! Stop ignoring it like it does not exist, us Americans like to do that, not now though. First, before I go to the other questions, why do we not help our children be the best they can be, get through heavy weight, why, because we never had this problem in the past, we don’t know how to help, even though we would love to help them. Then just help, don’t ask ,why! Help them through this crazy thing called “Life” and obesity ? Find the answers…! We need to teach them how to be healthy, they may not like all that is said, I did not like it as a kid either, yet looking back, I am glad I learned it. To this day, I had a different illness yet I live with my fruits and vegetables, with my filet’s and ribs in moderation! Teach your kids moderation and especially exercise, they don’t want to be called tubby or piglet or god only knows what. As Crosby Stills and Nash said….”Teach Your Children Well”… They need your love and understanding. Stop the things that make them fat, PLEASE…Here’s the other things we need to question and come up with answers for, the children are watching…..
1.Why was an Explorer not big enough, we needed an Expedition?
2.Why in 1976 when we had to wait 8 hrs. for a tank of gas, did we not learn?
3.Why do I see a 300lb. person eating a 3 scoop ice cream at Baskin/Robbins, and say nothing? Dude you don’t need one, take a 1/2 scoop.
4.When will people believe that food is just as bad as cocaine/heroin, it is just an addiction, and over-weightness will take you down as fast as an overdose, when will we understand this…! Food is as bad as anything, so the next time you hear hey crack-head, coke-head, heroin junkie, remember soon it will be Food junkie, he/she died from as a junkie=Food…!
5. It is time for us all to get into shape…! I know this term makes most of you just cringe, but do it if what you say is true, otherwise your just full of bull–it! Let’s go…! We all need to do it…Let’s love Life…!
Please, take a look at the right idea’s that must be done for our success, for our children, for our society, and for us as strong , understanding, people!
God Bless us All,
Teddy
