18,16 and 3?

An article Good and Bad Health Habits was posted on WebMD about the health habits of Americans. They said that results from a study done 2005-2007 (which I'm sure things haven't gotten any better) regular drinkers (6 in 10) outnumber regular exercisers (3 in 10).

In 2004, the CDC announced that Obesity is approaching the top cause of preventable death!




In 2000 this is was preventable deaths in America looked like:

Tobacco -18.1%
Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity -16.6%
Alcohol Consumption -3.5%

Do you see what I see?? Tobacco still kills. 6 in 10 people are regular drinkers. And Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity is quoted as the #2 KILLER. Not just on the list, but 16.6% of deaths that can be prevented are linked to unhealthy eating habits AND obesity compared to a mere 3.5% of Alcohol Consumption.

Which one will you be?
I choose None. Say "YES" to knowledge and let's change together.
