The Obesity Epidemic: Who's REALLY Responsible
September 28, 2008 by Andre Best
I have written about this before, but I feel compelled to write about it again. Why? Because it's everywhere that I am. Everywhere that I walk, everywhere I go, almost everywhere I look. It's there. What is it? Obesity. Morbid obesity. Overweight adults, young adults, and now even teenagers and children all over North America. It truly is becoming an epidemic, as some articles have pointed out in the local and national media and online.Posted by Andre Best on September 28, 2008
Your Body: Are You Voiding The Warranty?
September 20, 2007 by Andre Best
I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the entire issue of seeing people in the United States who seem to just be getting larger in size, overall. It's something that I can't understand. And perhaps my writing here will clearly show that perhaps my stance derives from naivete, or ignorance, or maybe clear misunderstanding about the entire issue of obesity in the United States. Like most people in developed countries these days, I too have to pay attention to what I eat, what type of food I eat, and, how my exercise routine is going. If I don't do all this, I notice a slight change when my pants begin to feel too tight around my waist, which happens from time to time. Although I have kept the same weight for over 10 years now, I know when my 'size' begins to change/increase.Posted by Andre Best on September 20, 2007
Exercise Tips to Live By

As most people have no doubt read in some form or fashion online or offline, obesity in developed countries, in an epidemic. And it never used to be this way. I remember when I was in high school in the late 1970's that there were two kids in school who were considered to be different than the rest of us because they were 'heavier'. Of course they were taunted, joked about, and ribbed. All because they were considered as being 'fat'.Posted by Andre Best on November 18, 2005
Getting it Where You Can. Exercise, That is.

I remember a few months ago I was walking down the stairs at the seven-story parking garage across from where I work in downtown Phoenix. As I was walking down I came across a woman who said to me 'Why are you doing this? You don't need to take the stairs.'Posted by Andre Best on October 29, 2005
