summarize today's articles.

The articles just talked about Brazilian obesity, researche shows that the number of brazilians suffering from obesity is growing and beauties in tiny bikinis are getting smaller and smaller, acording to them. A study coordinator names Deborah Malta said that obesity among women had stabilized in privious studies, and how there is an expressive increase. Is also says in the article that some 13% of the vrazilians asults are abese. Almost 47.3% of adult males and 39.5% of females are consideres overwight, but this figures are still low compared with some nations like U.S. where more than a third of all adults are consider obese. One of the things that sound very interesting to me was that although Brazilians are getting fatter, they are eating less red meat and more fruits and vegetables. They are smoking less and taking more presentive tests such as mammograms and pap smears. But it also said here that they are using less sunscreen and drinking more, especially to excess and often when driving. In my personal point of view I am not sure if that is really the cause of the obesity. This article contains a lot of good information to all the people and like Berti say in this article " if we do not teach people how to eat properly and exercese, them in 10 years no one will have the money to pay the hospital bills that will be arise." It also talks about the girl from Ipamema who they said is not necessarily tall and tan and young, lovely but could possibly be short, pale , fat and ugly. And when the New Yourk Times reported in 2005 that Brazilians were getting fatter, the correspondence come under attack. In deed, Malta call the earlier report "disrespectfull" and prefers to emphasize the Brazilians are relatively slim compares with thier counterparts in the west. And like she told Times " this is not just Brazilians that are getting fatter, this is a world wide phemomenon.
so like Malta said it is also disrespectful for me too not because I am fat but because I have very close friends from me who are overweight". I agree with her that this is not just the Brazilians. We should not be judging people, but what we shoul do is prevent the obesity like she said by teaching people how to eat more healthy. We should start doing something now before is too late to control it.
