Halloween is right around the corner, and many men can’t wait to see droves of scantily clad women in outfits leaving little to the imagination.
    It is a time for many college girls to show off their bodies, and enjoy the attention from both sexes. However, there are many men and women around campus and around the nation that probably will not feel as comfortable walking around in lingerie all night.
    According to Healthatoz.com, 60 percent of Americans are either obese or overweight, and the problem is becoming America’s No. 1 killer of adults.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in 2000, tobacco was responsible for 18 percent of deaths that year, and obesity was a close second with 17 percent of deaths.
    This past week, a half-ton man who had appeared on Mexican television to receive help died of heart failure. Emergency respondents had to knock down the wall of Jose Luis Garza’s bedroom and load him on the back of a pick-up just to get him out of his home.
    Garza previously had tried to follow what fellow Mexican Manuel Uribe did and start losing weight. Uribe is in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records for being the fattest man on earth at 1,230.
    He claims now to have lost 550 pounds using the Zone diet, but unfortunately, help came too late for Garza.
    Obesity is a huge problem in America these days, and it seems no one is taking it seriously. In fact, one would think that America is encouraging this epidemic.
    Gym classes all across America are being shut down to save money, and work on mandatory reading and math scores. According to ABC News, only a little more than half of all students nationwide are enrolled in a gym class, and by high school, only about 33 percent are throwing those red dodge balls around at school.
    The California Department of Education discovered higher levels of academic achievement are reached with higher levels of fitness. Kids who are physically fit feel better about themselves, get good rest and do better in school.
    Working out gives students energy, which in turn will help them stay focused during those horribly boring 8 a.m. math classes. This is perfect information for schools to use to try and help students do better in school.
    One would think schools would encourage children to take physical education classes all throughout high school to do better on those math and reading tests. However, Illinois is the only state to require P.E. for all class levels.
    It doesn’t make any sense why students wouldn’t want to take P.E. for four high school years. P.E. was the class you had to try very hard to not pass with an “A.” It was a grade-point-average booster, and fun as well.
    When else do you get to peg some of your best friends or enemies in the head with a ball and not get in trouble for it?
    Parents are letting their children eat fast food five days a week, only so they’ll grow up to be like Manuel Uribe. His record is not one a child should strive to break.
    With Halloween only a few weeks away, it’s too late to start slimming down now, but hopefully next Halloween there will be very few French maids weighing more than two bills.
