We Americans have got to eat healthier!

As americans we tend to always eat out, weather its a diner, fast-food restaraunt, or even a drive thru, where we basically dont even have to walk. Growing up as kids we don't really pay mind to the nutritional facts of the foods we eat, as long as its sweet or greasy good we chose that. I feel like America has everything big.. the biggest cars, biggest houses', buildings, and lastley the biggest people. And as Americans we are big eaters, i know this because i currently work at Wendys and about 15% of people acually get a salad with water, the rest have a medium or large combo. For months I noticed that we tend to stuff ourselves even when we are full. I am not gonna lie, I do acually myself have alot more food that my stomach can digest but we always eat till we feel full.

Now that summer is right around the corner we tend to wait till the last minute to acually begin eating healthier and hit the gym. Not only americans but everyone who goes on a diet will never stick to it because they feel that as soon as they lose that 10lbs, that it is okay to eat anything. To me I say that it is not a diet, it is a change in life style. For example growing up I was a heavy kid(not obese) but over weight. I began eating less and working out and I acually did see a major result, but as soon as I had lost lbs I began eating like i use to and got back to wear i started. Until I got to high school and realized about nutritional facts on the back of food. After that I noticed how even schools still serve us fatty foods such as fries, pizza, burgers, and sugar drinks as well. Basically to us americans these food not only taste delicious but as more cheaper than the $6 salads we never chose to have.
So this is basically how i feel how as Americans we tend to pig out on the wrong foods.
