Jonny's first Prom





Jonny decided on Wednesday that he wanted to go to prom on Friday. We were gone Thursday and Friday so I scrambled to help get him ready. They had a great time. I'll post some more pictures when I get copies. We luckily pulled up just as he was leaving. Jonny took Mariah Hassell and joined up with a bunch of friends from cross country. They first had dinner at the Barry's. Jonny said it was great. After pictures at the Barry's, they went bowling. Jonny said it was a lot of fun bowling in their prom clothes. They then went over to the dance. He said they had fun just dancing in their group. They waited for royalty to be announced and then came home. He was actually home by 11:30! He had a GREAT TIME!

My favorite picture is the one where they are all catching air. Why don't we live closer together so our kids can still be friends and give us chances to hang out regularly? I love being friends with you even if it is long distance.

My Thoughts on HEALTH and NUTRITION

The above slide show depicts the changes over the past 20 years in the percentage of Americans who are obese. During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. The slide set illustrates this trend by mapping the increased prevalence of obesity across each of the states. In 1985 most of the states had a percentage of <10%.>25%. So why the change? What has brought on this increase in our nation? Here are my thoughts.

1. TECHNOLOGY
The 80s and 90s brought computers and game consoles to the world. Outside work and play have been replaced by many hours in front of the computer and electronic games. This has led to a nation that is much less active than before.

2. DIET FADS
The 80s is characterized by the LOW-FAT diet craze. If you ate things that were LOW-FAT you weren't supposed to "get fat." The food guide pyramid was taught. It focused on eating large amounts of grains (6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice & pasta a day). Other diet fads have been the "low calorie diet" and the "Adkins" or low-carb diets. These diet fads have changed the way people think "healthy" eating should be.

3. EASY/PROCESSED FOODS
Our nation now has a "get it quick and get it now" mentality. Fast food restaurants are abundant and very accessible. The less time it takes to make or get our food, the better.

I feel that the three of these areas combined have led to an increase in obesity in our nation. SO NOW WHAT?
