WINNING??? No....LOSING!!

So Charlie Sheen gained (in a short time) over a million followers on Twitter!  What this says is that millions and millions of people are consumed with the private life of someone who is a complete stranger with drug, emotional, moral and legal problems.  This says that millions of people are willing to take their precious time to actually log on and read postings that have nothing to do with their own life. OK - so I understand morbid curiosity and I understand wanting to get lost in fantasy (Vampire novels are at an all time high), so go ahead and follow Charlie - but do yourself a favor and do some "healthy" reading as well.  2/3rds of the nation's population is overweight or obese, pediatric obesity is at epidemic levels, and what used to be a size 14 is now a size 8.  Be a part of the solution - take a break from Charlie's health choices Tweets and focus on YOUR health.  Log on to www.americanheart.org, http://www.weightwatchers.org/, and consume yourself with information that will help you to make some healthy changes in your life that will keep you and your family members from an early trip to the graveyard.
