Why this project is needed.(More in detail below the inspiration COMING SOON) -Diabetes -Globally (The USA is looked to as an example for many developing and developed countries, yet now our influence is spreading obesity to them as well) -For Ourselves, For our families, for a better tomorrow! Inspiration While walking around a well known and largely visited amusement park with my best friend, Her mom, and my mom, I was disturbed to see the food options at this million if not billion dollar tourist trap. Everywhere you turned you saw salt or sugar and only salt and sugar was being sold everywhere. There were fruit options but the prices for fruit seemed Fresh was double if not more expensive than say a bag of chips, water was more expensive than a soda or sugar juice. It was disturbing. It gets better. While waiting in line, I saw a special assistance line filled with people. I once was allowed in the line due to a family members health complication. We basically saved hours due to the fact it was a line with at max us and two other small groups. The line in 2012 was filled with people who were literally too obese to stand up, and had to be in wheel chairs or on scooters. Yet they continued to inhale super sized sodas and bags of fried salted chips. And when they got up to get on the ride they either couldn\'t or were out of breathe standing and pushed to the limits walking 2 feet to the rides seat to sit down again. It gets worse once they sat down they needed a seat belt extension or couldn\'t fit In the ride at all literally sinking the ride into the track. Recently at the amusement park the oldest ride needed to be redone due to the fact that the boats could no longer support the amount of people it use to on the boat due to the average weight increasing. The tracks and boats had both been ruined and redone as a result of the weight issue. But the scariest and most eye opening part for me was that some of these people were the same age or younger than I was. I understand 100% someone might have a disease or something but the facts also show that obesity is consuming the nation. It\'s not healthy and it needs to change today for the future of tomorrow!
