Are We Fit Enough

The United States as a whole is a very fat country in relation to every other country in the world. In the Kraus- Weber tests it showed that the overall fitness of the children in the US is a lot lower than those of European countrie. To fix this problem, it seems that there needs to be more education of the youth of the country to teach them how to eat healthy along with getting daily exercise. People in our country promote the big athletes that compete in pro sports, but they do not really focus on making a system to teach the basics and have more funding towards equal oppurtunity for athletes. People in Europe have more oppurtunities to continue excercising by participating in sports, but in the US it is harder to continue to play a club sport because the oppurtunities are just not there. Obesity is a huge problem that we desperatley need to fix.
