Body Check 101: The Pre-Obesity Era of America

We have a skewed idea of "normal" body weight today.  There are currently so many fat people that overweight looks normal.  I'm here to tell you the truth.  We are NOT even close to be normal weight in this country.  Don't be fooled! For those whining about political correctness, the body knows none.  Get over it.  It's not genetics--so don't blame your parents.  Think I'm still full of crap?  Look below.  Historic evidence photos of days gone by.  The "Pre-Obesity" era of America when people were actually somewhat healthy and normal weight. 

If we want a future, we need to "go old school"--as in losing some weight
and getting back into shape...NOW!
