Thoughts Toward A Better America
I recently got back from a trip to Europe, and noticed a drastic difference in the overall appearance of people. It was hard to find people who were overweight there and it not hard to determine why. The mass transit system throughout Europe is very good and is used by many people. It also is common to see people biking in a bike lane located next to lanes for motor vehicles.
The mass transit system encourages walking and promotes a healthy life style.
The idea that unhealthy foods warrant additional tax is a good one. Cigarettes are subject to much tax because of their negative effect to one’s health. Another thing detrimental to good health, is fatty food. They lead to increased cost in health care and therefore should be taxed more.
I am a published author and motivational speaker living in Charleston, South Carolina. When I was in high school I was involved in a tragic accident in which I lost a dear friend and began my journey through a long and painful recovery. Today I mentor other people faced with similar circumstances and I help them see that not all is lost and that the beauty of the human spirit can carry the day. I am opening up new horizons in my professional career and I will be available soon for public speaking engagements to show people first hand that they do have the power to face what life has dealt them with pride and perseverance.
