It's the start of another busy day. While we give you time to vote for which artwork you think we should use for our company logo, we wanted to point out some interesting news this week.
In case you haven't read our other posts, we are working to establish a business in the family recreation industry. We believe many people like us would pay to play for a couple of hours in a fun, safe attraction featuring obstacle and ropes courses. That is our dream.
One of the many reasons we believe our business will succeed is because of the health of the average American. Did you see the report that came out January 17 in the Journal of the American Medical Association? It said that 35.7 percent of adults and 16.9 percent of children in the United States today are obese.
A Centers for Disease Control report said people who live in the South are the least likely to be physically active in their leisure time. The CDC said the current number of obese adults and children in the U.S. is triple the rate it was just one generation ago and estimated that 64 percent of all Americans are overweight.
The national media have spotlighted the pandemic rise in obesity and diabetes in the past decade. Parents and medical professionals continue to look for avenues to encourage children to use to get exercise and improve their health. And a Gallup poll found that almost six in 10 Americans want to lose weight.
As a family recreation attraction, we believe the Arkansas Diamond Mine Adventure will become a place families will want to visit over and over. We are convinced that we can create a demand for this type of family attraction that taps into the growing need for exercise and recreation.
Thank you for following our efforts, and we value your support.
