PROSE & CONS: OBESITY

 Could there be anything good about being obese? To my surprise there actually are some pros about being obese, but there are a lot more cons about being obese also. Just because there are some positives about being obese that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything about it. It would be way more beneficial to yourself to do something about it. This little essay I'm going to write will talk about the pros and cons about being obese.

First I will talk about the pros about being obese. They aren't the most positive things in the world, but they are somewhat good...I guess. If you are obese one "positive" thing is that you could possibly fight diseases better. The second "positive" thing that I found was that an obese person could possibly live longer if they don't get any diseases that obesity usually causes. These might be true but the possibility of getting a heart disease or some other disease like that would more likely effect you.

Now to talk about the negatives about being obese. First off obesity will make your life hard in every way. It will effect they way you work, the way you relax, the way you shop in the grocery store, the way you walk, etc. Obesity will also cause many diseases like heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes and the list goes on. Obesity is a fast spreading epidemic that is effecting not only the U.S. but other countries also. Something needs to be done about this. We need to do more to help educate people about eating good, and we need to start at a young age. We need to encourage people to be more athletic and to get outside more. This will benefit not only our generation but future generations as well.

In conclusion, yeah obesity has some positive things about it but the number of negatives that come along with it largely out number the positives. It would be best if you did something about it. It will definitely help you out in the future. Here are some websites that will help educate you more about obesity:
