I don’t think I have EVER posted on politics here before so this is a daring, courageous and cautious first. Being a self-confessed rookie when it comes to politics I decided at the young age of 35 that now is as good a time as any to start learning about how our country is run. After all, with 2 young ones ages 4 and an adorable 8 months, it will come in handy when they hit the 5th grade and bring home their Social Studies homework, (flashback to the 5th grade, wow that was a long time ago!).
So, the other night I watched President Obama give the State of the Union Address to the American people. I’ve also watched a few of the Republican debates over the past few months and listened closely to some of the important issues on the table. One thing that struck me, in between eating some delicious seedless Paleo grapes and jiggling Sara to sleep, was the lack of either party, neither Democrat or Republican, to mention the unbelievable obesity epidemic that is plaguing our country. They talk about health care yes, but I have yet to hear anyone take the position of “pro-health”.
Then I started thinking…
What if our country’s leaders actually started to focus on building a healthier America? And what if people actually got a tax break if they lead healthier lives, ate better, worked out daily and managed their weight? They would cost the country less therefore helping to reduce our staggering multi-trillion dollar deficit, we would have a more energetic and productive workforce helping to increase our exports and GDP, our overall health care costs would decrease due to less demand for drugs, procedures and services related to excess weight and obesity, and we would have a reduction in our nations consumption of calories (leaving more food for those struggling to feed themselves and their family day after day).
Maybe this is not a practical solution to our countries problems, maybe it is not on the agenda of our countries leaders, or maybe they just don’t want to bring it to the surface for the public eye to see. Either way I am proud to say that at CrossFit EXP we are doing our small part right here in Leominster to reduce our nations deficit, decrease healthcare costs, increase GDP, lessen our daily food consumption, and help America stay healthy and fit… one WOD at a time.
