THE ECONOMY'S BAD BECAUSE YOU'RE FAT!

So screams an article that was in The Denver Post.

I just finished reading it and couldn't resist adding my 2 cents worth.

Basically, the article is focused on Brad Cooper, a Corporate Fitness Professional, much like myself, who is based in Colorado.

"Health care costs keep expanding with our jellyrolls. Today, 65 percent of Americans are overweight and 35 percent are clinically obese. This marks roughly a 10 percent increase in our collective bulge over the past five years.

Some blame fast food for congealing our arteries. Some blame the medical and pharmaceutical industries for hawking drugs over sensible lifestyle changes. Others blame technology for turning us into screen-fixated blobs.

Cooper blames you."

My 2 cents:

I love this bloke. He's got the balls to come out and say in the media what most Fitness Professionals have privately thought for years.

Thumbs up Brad, you've done well mate!

Personally, I'm sick of my health fund premiums going up each year because too many sick people are claiming rebates.

Why can't us healthy people get rebates or tax concessions come tax time because we are not over burdening the ever increasing shambles that is the New South Wales Public Health Care System

C'mon K-Rudd it's time to pull the finger out and do something proactive for the ever growing minority that do look after themselves!
