A survey says that 27% of the nation is “Too Fat to fight”. Reports from CNN say that the maximum weight depends on certain variables such as height, but the maximum body fat percentage is 36% for women and 30% percent for men. Those standards are really low, and as a nation we still fail to reach this extremely low bar. So, what does this mean? If there is a draft, a quarter of the people drafted would fail based on weight alone. Our nations security actually depends on America to “shape up”. I was against FDA regulation of salt and trans fat before hearing how irresponsible we are being as human beings. I was a huge supporter of eat what you please, if you want to destroy your body its perfectly fine, but when I heard CNN mention that my safety is at risk because as a nation we are too fat to protect ourselves, well that is just pitiful. Get off the couch America.
