How to address obesity

Obesity has become a big issue in America. I had an interesting idea. Why don't we find a way to turn physical activity into a game? Oh, wait. That's what sports are.


This country has pushed elitism in sports to the point that recreational opportunities have become an afterthought. Let me ask one really simple question. Would sports have more value to our country as a form of recreation or as a pursuit of elitism? I think recreation would be the better choice.

We keep talking about obesity, and we have something right in front of us that can help. People can get in better shape and have fun doing it. Is all comes down to one simple thing. We need to encourage people to play sports as a recreational activity. This happens to be an area where we are seriously failing right now.
