She had written a letter to the president about being bullied. It reminded me of something I did when I was an 8th grader. I was frustrated because I was overweight and didn't feel like I fit in so my mom took me to the only gym in my town (at the time) Curves and they wouldn't let me workout there because of my age.
I was so angry because I wanted to workout and was too self concious to just go walk outside that I wrote a letter the president (at the time) and told him that I didn't like it that kids dont have access to places where they can take control of their fitness.
I had forgotten all about this until I saw that just then. But when I think about it I feel like it was a very valid point. The news always goes on and on about childhood obesity. I hear about YMCA's but those only exist in larger cities and when your a kid transportation to those kinds of things can be kind of iffy. A large amount of our country is made up of small cities and towns. I am willing to bet most of these towns dont even posess an organic/vegetarian isle in there grocery stores. Mine doesn't. I drive 20 to 30 minutes each week to the grocery store in the next city over to get some of the things I eat most often.
I dont really know why I am writing this.. just a rant I suppose
