Right now today don't you ask yourself why are everyone catching high-blood pressure and diabetes? This looks like this is about to break a world record with knowing that both young people are getting sick from these deadly diseases. You use to hereing that older people will have these problems but now you got young people too getting sick as young as they is. I know its consequences hehind eatting healthy, one minute they will tell you something is good for your health then the next bad. My parents was telling me that way back it wasn't like this. Young people with sicknesses like this between the ages 15 on up, thats incredible messed up.

I think that environment that we live in is having negative effect on our health. I mean, there are lots of poisonous gases being emitted every day right into air we breathe. Then all these microwaves and other forms of radiation and stuff. Some scientists have been warning society, that all those technological gadgets may be dangerous if used for a long time and if there are many of those in our homes.
Another thing in my opinion is that peoples immune system is getting weaker because of use of antibiotics and other medications which have strong effect. The bacteria are also getting stronger and resistant to medications.
There are many small details and causes that make up a huge snowball rolling down on our health.

I certainly believe "those technological gadgets [such as laptops, PSPs, xBoxes, you get the picture] may be dangerous if used for a long time" because they cause people to sit for extended periods of time with little or no activity resulting in negligible caloric burn which causes extra poundage and fat to accumulate. And you all know what that means -- obesity! Obesity is epidemic in young people today and it goes hand-in-hand with high blood pressure and diabetes.
Time to step away from said technological gadgets and DO something...anything! Just ACTIVATE! (Get active.)

Well, it's due to the poor diet of many people around the world, especially in the Western world. Eating from fast-foods such as Burger King and McDonalds will ruin your health if you do it consistently. Also, it seems to me (a personal opinion, mind you) that most parents give up too easy on getting their children to eat healthy.
Example Conversation:
Parent: Eat your vegetables.
Child: No.
Parent: Do it!
Child: NO!
Parent: Ok, fine *starts frying some french fries and a hot dog*

The conversation is just killing 
and unfortunately true. Most of the parents love to make their children happy without understanding it's unhealthy and they are the reason for future problems.

Yeah I agree, with the child no, parent do it thing. Young people do stay hooked on unhealhy foods. I think its alot more to it with this situation cause even people that been eatting healthy eatting their vegetables/fruits over the years even getting sick. Its scary when you see it like this.

It's due to fast food and packaged dinners. Those foods are full of sudium, preservatives, fat and are high in calories in such little packages. Even the salads at fast food places are high in sugar and sudium. People need to stop being so lazy and eat healthy foods they can prepare at home. If they are always on the go they can prepare a head of time to make it quicker.
