In a country where health care and the cost of many medications is subsidized by the government, this is one of the many causes of financial woes that afflict Egypt and its economy. Being overweight is associated with a higher risk of many diseases including diabetes, heart disease, stroke,hypertension, infertility, cancer.etc. Yet sadly, things are not as simple as they seem. They believed that a fatter person is better looking than a thin hungry person.
In older days, Egyptians believed that gaining weight was a sign of economic abundance and wealth. They would rather concentrate on their budget, or saving for their children, or the kids schools and exams.etc. A lot of people believe this is a vanity issue, and as they get older or get married, they feel that there is no reason to care about this now. Countries all over the world are working hard to reverse this epidemic, yet as Egyptians, resources are limited, and people have bigger concerns to worry about rather than their weight. What silent epidemic am I talking about you ask? Obesity!! A casual observation of Egypt will show you that more and more people are gaining weight. In this problem as well as many others, women always get the short end of the stick! It is an easy solution, yet it isn't available for everyone. The solution to this problem is in our hands. It costs billions of dollars every year to manage problems caused by this silent epidemic. It affects our economy and our well being. You will see that this danger affects both men and women, young and old. yet as Egyptians, we go on from day to day oblivious to the danger lurking ahead of us. silently infiltrating everyone's life, and changing it for the worse. It has been going on for some time now, but so far, not many people have been able to confront the epidemic that has slowly taken over our country.
The variety of Egyptians walking in the Egyptian street on any given day is astounding. They come from all over Egypt, of many social and economical classes. An average person walking in the streets of Cairo can look around and see a parade of people who walk by every day.
