Every American To Have Obesity Rating By 2014
Where's The Beef?
Obesity has gotten so out of control for Americans that the US government now wants to know how fat everyone is. In fact, by 2014, it will be a requirement. New federal regulations issued this week stipulate that the electronic health records–that all Americans are supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year–must record not only the traditional measures of height and weight, but also the Body Mass Index: a measure of obesity.
Who really know exactly what this will mean and who will have access to these records, I’m sure there will be some privacy issues to deal with. If you ask me, making this measure of obesity a requirement is an invasion of privacy and is really nobody’s business but their own. But the the government rightfully argues that the problem of obesity is getting out of control and some sort of action must be taken, maybe they are right, but is this requirement the right thing to do? Michelle Obama has made dealing with the problem of childhood obesity the main theme of her term as First Lady.
Either way, the the required obesity rating is right or wrong, it will be here and it looks as if there is nothing we can do about it now. What we can do is decide to make a lifestyle change and get in shape today. It is up to us to make a change for better health, better lives for ourselves and our families. It is never to late to start.
