Obesity an Unacceptable Worldwide Epidemic

Obesity has no limits and will reach far and wide.

All over the world obesity has found its way and unfortunately it has also found its way to 610kg (1345 lbs.) man named Khaled Mohsen Shaeri.  He was removed from his house with a forklift to receive an operation to remove 80kg (176 lbs.) from his stomach after being no longer able to walk.
This is unacceptable because we only have one life to live and some are unable to control themselves but they should still make it an effort to be healthy so they will be able to achieve anything in life.
An example of a man that did turn his life around is Shahzad Ahmed.  He was obese, nearly had diabetes, and had a high cholesterol levels. He was able to turn his life around and ended up biking 2,300 km(1429 mi) across Europe because of motivation from his daughter and his wife.  He is making the difference that everyone needs to make to turn their lives around and stop sitting around and being idle.  We as a country or even as a wold will not make progress if we simply laze around and wait for the results to come to us.  We must go and do things for ourselves and for others.  in the end doing something is better than doing nothing.
