Is obesity more dangerous than terrorism?

Thesis statement: "Peolple should focus their attention on the obesity epidemic and not on other threats like terrorism".

Obesity is a disease commonly defined as a high body mass index. It is popular in the United States where people exceed healthy limits because they focus their attention in other threats. Although, there are a lot of threats that affect the society, they should focus on their health firstly.

First of all, obesity is an individual clinical condition that can be mortal to the person who suffer it because it predisposes to various diseases such as diabetes, cancer or cardiovascular disease. Therefore, obesity epidemic kills millions of people each year in United States.
Moreover, obesity have psycologist consequences, ot only it affects the health. For example, the self-steem can be affected by this illness because maybe people who suffer obesity don't feel security of themselves because of their condition. Also, obesity have social consequences because in many cases fat people are rejected by "normal" people. Obeses have to hold the critics of the society. Because of that, obesity epidemic is considered a serious and growing public health problem, specially in United States where people ignore this kind of threats.

On the other hand, some americans think that there are most important threats than obesity. For example, terrorism and global warming. Since 2001, american goverment have been focus on figthing terrorism while obesity are killing millions of people. Americans think that terrorism is a terrible threat because it can damages the society. Also, they think terrorism represent more risks to them. They have remained really frightened since the attacks of september 11.

To sum up, I believe obesity should have more importance in United States. It is true that there are other threats that can damage the society but I think that people need good health to live and obesity don't allow us to be well. Also, this disease have killed millions of people around the world . So, we have to change that. As a student, I believe that we have to take care our health because this is the most important think that we have to preservate. Perhaps, there are other threats like terrorism but firstly we have to take care us and we will be safe. So if yo don't have good health, would you be well?
