I thought being ¨healthy¨ was about being in good shape and not consuming junk food, exercising often. I was aware about how being overweight dragged a bunch of diseases with you. Yet these illnesses bring a whole set of nation wide issues for everyone not just for oneself. In the documentary The Weight of a Nation, we see a variety of contributing factors affecting the United States as whole through individuals personal cases. What caught my attention the most was how what seems as one individual's problem turns into everyone's problem, health care for a person who is obese and starting to have medical issues impacts us all. It’s not just about that one individual choosing to opt for a unhealthy devastating life style, the consequences are for all of us as a whole.
