• I was very naïve at the fact that we were the fattest country. I was not aware at how bad we actually were overweigh. But after reading articles and books on proper nutrition I know now what I have to do to not become a part of the statistic. I don’t want to be someone who becomes obese later in life and now I know the proper steps that I need to take to ensure that I never will.
