Where obesity is popular

 I was looking up which state in the USA was the most obese state. It is Mississippi, in which  33.8% of adults are obese. The thinnest state was Colorado, where 19.1% of adults are obese. In Washington, 26.3% of adults are obese, which is in the middle. It is pretty shocking how many adults are obese. I hope we can get the percentage down really low, especially in Mississippi. And imagine how many kids are overweight too. And if kids parents have bad eating habits, their kids will probably pick them up from them. Do you think it is really shocking how high obesity percentages are so high? And when you think that they might go down, you realize that when some people cure obesity, other people are getting obese. We really need to change our habits if we want to become healthier. (As in we, I mean the state, not certain people).

11 days later...
I guess everyone is busy because nobody is commenting...oh well, I guess I will keep posting anyway.

Hobbie post!

 As I promised Gloson, every once in a while I will post about one of my hobbies. Today I will post about swimming. I have a lot hobbies, my schedule is martial arts on Monday and Thursday, swimming on Tuesday, piano on Wednesday, and a program called Kumon which is like tutoring on Friday . Today I have swimming.
  I have been swimming ever since I was in kindergarten. Now, in sixth grade, I am in pre-competition level swimming lots and lost of laps(each 25 yards) in a 12-foot pool. My mom said at first I was too afraid to even jump into the water. Now I am diving into it from a diving block. Wow. I can't imagine being so scared of the pool. Usually when I tell people I go swimming, they think it means playing and splashing in shallow water, but it's anything  but that. When I get out of the pool, my skin is glazed with water and cold sweat, and I am exhausted. Each class is a long one hour. But swimming makes me refreshed and is actually pretty fun, if you have a good attitude about it. It is a backup plan to get a job or even a scholarship. But if you do anything, you have to put your heart into it, which I am sure I do with swimming.
P.S. Today, October 15 is Adora's birthday! So happy birthday Adora!!!

Back from camp/ fast food

 Hello! I am back from camp, which was absolutely awesome! I was a little homesick though, so I am happy to be back home. I appreciate everybody who is reading and commenting on  my blog, thank you! I love enjoying wildlife and nature is so beautiful. I was thinking of making some poems about nature, since I like writing and poems (especially reading them). Any ideas?
  I was thinking about what causes obesity and I first though of one thing...fast food. Fast food is almost everywhere you go and it is so cheap. It also is more convienient than healthy and expensive food.( Convienient meaning easier to get and cheaper). Why can't healthy food be this way? I mean, even though fruit and veggies are more expensive, why can't we change that. Imagine healthy food being part of fast food instead of greasy french fries and burgers. Even though some fast food resturants have salads and apples and things like that, do they advertise them as much? The obvious answer is no. If fast food was healthy or even healthier, it would save alot of people from being obese. What are your thoughts on this?

P.S.: When I googled my name (for fun) I saw that there was another person with my exact same name on Facebook. I am not on Facebook, so it's funny that there is a person with the exact same name as me on it. I think I am too young and I probably won't have enough time to post anything on it. Also, my dad has an account so if I have an urgent I can post it on his account. Just wanted to say that randomly :D.

More Obesity/camp

 I found some more facts on obesity, which just talk about what obesity is:

   Obesity means accumulation of excess fat on the body. Obesity is considered a chronic (long-term) disease, like high blood pressure or diabetes. It has many serious long-term consequences for your health, and it is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States (tobacco is the first). Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30. The BMI is a measure of your weight relative to your height.

   Starting this Monday, I am going to sixth grade camp! At my school, Meridian Elementary, the camp is called Camp Waskowitz. Kinda weird name, right? I will be packing after I post this.  But everyone says it is going to be so much fun. I am really excited!!! I have been waiting for camp since a long time ago. Is there a sixth grade camp for school's where you live?
