G., 2011) bases its figures on the weight of the product and not the calories the product contains?
Surgeon General Kooper also says, “Obesity is one of the most prevalent diet-related problems in the United States” (Kooper 277). I completely agree that the Govt. should take some initiative and regulate some areas of the American diet, but they should definitely not control it is a communist state. With finesse, the government should be able to come up with an agreement on how to encourage us to eat healthier without majorly affecting the everyday lives of American citizens. Dan Rubinstein, a writer for AlterNet says, “America is known as being the fattest country in the world” (Rubinstein).
If people want to get bigger and gain more muscle, they have to deal with the fact that they will gain some additional body fat. Though some people will be able to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, most will not. The fact is there are no magic pills, powders, foods, or exercises that will allow you to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. If they are naturally thin and have a difficult time gaining weight of any kind, it would be silly for them to think that they will be able to gain muscle while trying to keep their body fat low.

But some athletes question; “Are vitamins an example of ergogenic aids?” Vitamins function in the body as metabolic regulators, affecting a number of processes important to sport performance. This is where most athletes wonder if they are taking too many or not enough vitamins to keep their performance at its max during the game. But scientists have concluded that only athletes who are vitamin deficient may not perform at 100%. It also depends which vitamins are taken. If an athlete who is vitamin C deficient takes vitamin D, the athlete’s performance will not improve.
Supersize My Fridge... With the Essential Ingredients Just who is to blame for this wide spread epidemic known as obesity? If you ask the overweight demographic of our country, it's safe to say the blame is pointed toward the genetics they have inherited; along with a chip on their shoulder, and a poor attitude that says “There's simply no time to work out.” These are the two common elements that lead to obesity. Having said that, can you guess whether or not I am in fact overweight? If you guessed not, you are correct.

As Richard Carmona states in “The Obesity Crisis In America,” “Nearly two out of every three Americans are overweight or obese”(1). Why are Americans so overweight? I believe the three main causes of obesity in America are; the lack of motivation to exercise, the convenience of fast food, and America’s perspective that everyone is fine just the way they are. One of the primary causes of obesity is simple; lack of exercise. If we don’t even bother to workout, do we expect to magically lose weight and stay healthy?
According to internet research, Americans spend more than $110 billion a year on the fast food. So obviously the only good thing I think that comes out of fast food restaurants is that since it is a growing epidemic, results would be more people employed. On the other hand, more and more fast food places would be everywhere, making it easier for people to succumb to the temptation of the delicious fast food. The truth of the matter is, fast food is killing us slowly. Do yourself and fellow Americans a favor and don’t eat at such lousy food places.
