weight loss and America

At ballparks, race tracks, concerts and other public events, the food served at these places are contibuting to the obesity epidemic. From the chili dogs to the beers to the ice cream...the owners of these venues know full well what we cannot resist. The dilemma is that these are profit-driven facilities that are not focring these foods down our throats...we can opt to eat before we get to the event and drink diet sodas or water. However, for most of us , (including me) part of the fun of these events are consumming those great looking food sources. The response to these challenges should include planning your day before you go to include eating BEFORE the event. Most places do not allow you to bring food in..therefore eat before. Moreover, limit yourself to one "indulgence" and not 5 or 6. Once again, this is not easy to do, but always remember you are making the choice to be healthier, happier, look younger etc. Your choice is a good one.
