Hello Whyvillians!! SweetMN here, to write about a topic that has been talked about a lot. From the television commercials, to reality shows, even in the Whyville Times! What am I talking about? Well if your a great guesser, (or you knew right away from the title,) you would know that I am talking about weight. So I decided to interview some Whyvillians for their opinion.

First I met up with tedyluvsu to see what she thinks.

sweetMN: Hi. Do you think people are obsessing over weight more than they did years ago? Why?
tedyluvsu: Yes people are always worryed about weight. A few years ago it wasn't a big deal because people were more active without TV shows and computers.
sweetMN: Great answer! Do you think people are going over the limit with their weight?
tedyluvsu: Yes some people just don't care but it hurts them A LOT by eating fast food and chocolate and stuff.
sweetMN: In your opinion, do you think weight is a great thing to be concerned about, or could you care less?
tedyluvsu: I think we should be concerned because it's important. It can damage our health if we are under or overweight.

Next, I saw Bikergal9 at Beach North.

sweetMN: Hey. Do you think people are obsessing over weight more than they did years ago? Why?
Bikergal9: Yes I do. More people are wanting to be bone skinny. It's not right.
sweetMN: I agree. Do you think people are going over the limit with their weight?
Bikergal9: Yes I do.
sweetMN: In your opinion, do you think weight is a great thing to be concerned about, or could you care less?
Bikergal9: I would rather be one or two pounds overweight and people want to be 20 pounds underweight.

Then I y-mailed my friend gerenago2.

sweetMN: Do you think people are obsessing over weight more than they did years ago?
gerenago2: If you mean more than they did years ago then yea.
sweetMN: Do you think people are going over the limit with their weight?
gerenago2: I believe that people can do what they want to do if they put their mind to it. So people can lose weight if they believe they can. In short, yes, people are going over the limit to try and lose a couple pounds when your goal is to actually get healthy not loose weight.
sweetMN: In your opinion, do you think that weight could be a great thing to be worried about, or could you care less?
gerenago2: It is important in some ways, because in our every-day life we are judged by looks though we shouldn't be.

I also y-mailed milo0987.

sweetMN: Do you think people are obsessing over weight more than they did years ago?
milo0987: Yes I do.
sweetMN: Do you think people are going over the limit with their weight?
milo0987: It's really serious to me, my grandma makes a big deal about it, one of my grandparents died because of a weight problem.

There you have it, four people's amazing opinions on the subject of weight. So what do you think? Post your thoughts in the BBS. :)

This has been sweetMN . . .
Bye!!
