It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a rampant epidemic seizing this country. The Trust for Americans Health released their annual report on obesity today and for the first time in the history of this country, obesity rates across the country went up. In some states as high as 16.3 percent. There is a movement right now taking its cue from citizens the world over, but none should be more concerned than the citizens of our own country. It's called Meatless Mondays, and it promotes the ideas of a healthy vegetarian alternative to the fast food, high fat, high sugar content of what most of America is currently consuming. Mr. President, we are standing on the verge of a healthcare disaster waiting to happen. We are seeing the start of a very deadly trend that will continue unabated unless something is done. You have an historic and unprecedented chance to change the health of millions of people with your leadership at this crossroads, I implore you to consider promoting this idea for not only the health of our country today but for generations to come.
