 Did you know that one-third of all Americans are obese? The party affiliation: **Obesity Beaters** wants to stop obesity at the root of the problem. The causes of obesity are not quite clear but some guesses are the need for regulating school lunches, teaching kids how to cook, increase training in physicians, and eliminate unhealthy desserts.
 * CONGRESS ACTIVITY ** **__Obesity Beaters: Adults __**

 School lunches have gotten pretty hectic in the past decade. Although the unhealthy snacks in school cost extra, it still does not prevent kids from eating them. Congress needs to put an effort in regulating school lunches by eliminating unhealthy food choices like candy, chips, and fries. Another problem is that Americans are not teaching their kids how to cook.

 Teaching children how to cook is key to bonding time and teaching children how to eat healthy. If a child is taught how to cook then they will not want to eat out at fast good restaurants as much. And when the child becomes an adult they won’t be investing hundreds of dollars into eating fast foods all the time, instead they will be investing in groceries, which is far better. Another way to help stop obesity is to increase training in physicians.

 All people perceive obesity in a different way. Also people who specialize in obesity perceive obesity in different ways. If a physician views obese people as disgusting, then the physician might be rude to all of his/her obese patients compared to his/her fitter patients, which is not fair. All physicians need to be trained how to respect all obese patients. They also need to be trained how to be more helpful and caring to their obese patients. A different problem that obese people have is the strong desire to eat desserts.

 Desserts are diverse to all people. To some healthy people, dessert can be a bowl of fruit or an apple. To a child dessert can be pudding. To an unhealthy person dessert can be a whole meal full of fats and confectionaries. But to all Americans dessert is a little craving after dinner. Desserts can be fun to create but they are unnecessary, especially so late at night. Any food pass 7:00 pm is hard to burn off because they usually contain many calories and around night time we rather relax then go to sleep instead of exercise. Eliminating dessert is the safest way to get rid of extra calories and to stop obesity.

 In conclusion, one-third of all Americans are obese, and the number is steadily rising. If congress put more effort into regulating school lunches then obesity in children would go down and children would pick better food choices. If parents could teach their children how to cook then the constant eating at food restaurants would stop. And also physicians need to be trained how to be more sensitive to their obese patients. And last Americans need to eliminate desserts. If we put all these things together then the amount of obese Americans will go down.
