"Helping Hands" by Joe Weider appeared in the Muscle and Fitness issue of March 2003, as an editorial on obesity. In Weider's view, he says "I have no sympathy for him or her. He or she is overweight because they eat horribly. I"m in shape because I work out and eat well." Maybe there is better way to eradicate obesity than to tear down those around us who are not as fit as we are. Weider points out that genetics are the one of the reason why people are obese and it not because of a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle; genetic makeup has likely predisposed him or her to a life of obesity. The issue that Weider is trying to get across is that fighting obesity takes all of our efforts.
Weider's commentary is part of a large problem in the United States currently on obesity. This isn't to say that obese individuals have no hope and can simply use poor genetics as an excuse for their condition. With a strict diet and sufficient exercise, even the genetically challenged can live a fit and healthy life. Men and women that are over weight do not have to look like an exact copy of the celebrities, bodybuilder or modules in the magazines. When obese people see this in the magazines, they look around themselves and see fit people exercising and dieting. This brings depression on and causes them to eat more to a point where they can not eat no more. Wieder mentions when he was growing up that he did not maintain a nutritious diet. He learned over time how to eat from great bodybuilder and maintain a good physique. .
The term "obesity" that Wieder uses gives the sense of urgency and enables readers to see what was calling on Wieder to write. He appears to have excellent credentials to speak on the topic. As he notes in the article, Wieder has a lot of experience in the fitness world and despite his age he is still living like a champ. In fact it is his devotion to find a way to inform everyone that just exercising and dieting a little reduce their chance of attracting any health problems.
