I will start by saying that, I myself am obese. The reason I started this petition is because there are so many children who are overweight and also obese, people carry this extra weight into adulthood. After being taunted for being “Fat”, I myself was compared to a fire truck in Elementary school, and although the comment did not affect my confidence, any other child would feel ashamed, and thus we grow bigger the older we get. I would like to start by saying that I am 300lbs, and although I would like to join the Military to serve my country, I don’t see it happening anytime soon. There have been studies that say people who are overweight are prone to memory problems, and I am one of them. I would like to petition for the Government to help/aid in the losing of this unwanted weight.
