The last few weeks in my anthropology class, we have been talking about healthy eating habits and the increasing obesity problem that faces our country.  One out of every three kids born after 2000 will contract diabetes sometime in their life.  Working at a restaurant I constantly see prime examples of this phenomenon and it is starting to get a bit irritating. 

            Today, between my first and second class I had just enough time to print off a paper I had finished the night before and rush over to the university Burger King for a quick lunch.  Now I recognize that Burger King isn’t the healthiest of foods but I eat salads and fruits all week long and I am a skinny dude so I can get away with it. 

            I walked into the student center where the Burger King and Pizza Hut are located and couldn’t believe my eyes.  There were about 100 kids age 8 to 12 I would guess.  40 or so in the Pizza Hut line and 60 or so in the Burger King line.  “This is ridiculous!” I exclaimed.  I locked eyes with one of the mothers and asked her what all these ankle biters were doing at my school.  She explained how they had just gotten done with a fitness and healthy eating seminar in our auditorium.  Now go ahead and take a second to digest that.  I looked at the lady and informed her that this was the greatest contradiction since the pot called the kettle black.
