Increase in Global Warming related to Increase in Obesity
Related to Global Warming!

Ok so this may be old news to you as there are more important things (election, economy, etc…) going on around us but I thought I would throw this one out again.
It’s been happening for years. We created it, slowly but surely, and it will be detrimental in the end. So, are obesity and global warming really related? The reality is that there is no causal relationship between the two, but they do have similar characteristics. We aren’t Green Peace right-wing environmentalists, nor are we trying to promote propaganda, but rather a point. And that point is that the poor choices we make – no matter how minute – WILL have an effect on any environment, ecosystem, biosphere, or in this case the human body over a period of time. Those are the similar characteristics I’m talking about! Repeat after me: ”Over time, the little repeated things I do add up to create an end result.” Take, for example, the Grand Canyon. This marvelous wonder was cut by a river over a period of millions of years. Or a floating mass of plastic the size of Texas out in our ocean, created by our wastes over the years (http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Ocean/Moore-Trashed-PacificNov03.htm). Do you see where we are going with this?
Who cares though, right? It’s just a little here and there. You’ll get to it someday. Maybe I’m going a little overboard. Comparing heart disease, metabolic disorders, and diabetes to global warming? Well, maybe I should candy-coat the truth for you. After all, it’s all about the feel-good-feeling, isn’t it? Wrong. This is reality, people, and it is coming. Do something about it.
