Nutrition plays the most important role in the childhood obesity epidemic in America. In fact, CEO Mark Trotter also realizes that it is probably the most important factor in this struggle. The problem is that most people have trouble connecting the dots and seeing the cause-and-effect chain that leads to such a nationwide crisis. If we could, today, replace every soda and junk food vending machine in every school, workplace and hospital with a YoZone, we would see obesity rates start to decline around the country. If we then took down the fast food industry, we would see more of a decline. If we continue to remove unhealthy ingredients form our foods, like high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils, we will see the end of this epidemic. Mark Trotter put their full weight behind this belief; join us in fighting against childhood obesity in America.
As we have said before, people tend to complicate the obesity issue unnecessarily. The rise of obesity in our society correlates almost perfectly with our government’s decision to push oils made from corn and other unhealthy sources on our population, because they were cheaper and could be made right here on American soil. Unfortunately, people did not understand that these oils were extremely unhealthy for the human heart; this decision had drastic long-term affects, and is one of the major causes of obesity in America today. We have only natural and organic foods which do not contain these unhealthy fats, something that Mark Trotter made sure of when he designed the YoZone.
Many people still do not understand the distinction between unhealthy fats and healthy fats, such as coconut oil. Americans tend to think that all saturated fats were “created equal,” because that is what they have been told. That could not be further from the truth. Mark invites us to educate ourselves on the causes of our society’s problems, so that we may make informed decisions. Widespread ignorance is only a possibility when there is a lack of education and truth. We are becoming successful as a company because so many people have become educated that even the state legislators have decided to take a stand. Even if the company fails tomorrow, Mark will continue to fight misinformation and promoting healthy eating in our society. But failure is unlikely; our citizens are more ready than ever to change their diets and their lifestyles in favor of health and prosperity, rather than lethargy and sickness.
So join Mr. Trotter in the fight against childhood obesity in America. We have a long way to go, and it seems to get worse each and every day. But if one looks closely at the developments of the last few years, it’s easy so see that the road to change has already been paved; we just need to start walking it. Others are making healthy alternatives available more and more, so now it is up to you to make the correct choices on a daily basis. Habits are difficult to change, a fact that junk food vendors rely on to keep them in business. But in the long run, your health is far more important, and you know it.
