Obesity Epidemic

[gipper]

No one should pay attention to this. It’s devised for the benefit of big pharma and big HC.

This didn't make us obese

Red meat
Eggs
Butter
Salt

But this did

Fructose
Seed oil
Carbs

Yes, I really think it's our food supply, which is crap

You do realize sodium causes water retention and hypertension

True. The military is having a hard time finding recruits that are physically fit.

It was a part wind- up and of course your Fatty Land is not the only sufferer from this epidemic .
I have actually seen Fatties over here though we usually net and tag them and then send them on their waddling way with the warning of severe fines if still obese the following year .

Fortunately the future need for huge ground force military capability is in decline due to technology advances including robotics.
Perhaps your new body-robust military could morph into a PR operation with Fatties stationed across the globe responding to the stressed and gullible with , " Have a nice Day" to all questions .

WTF

Where is this happening

 

[frigidweirdo]

Obesity is a serious problem in the United States. Too many people over-eat and don't exercise.

US obesity rates have tripled over the last 60 years

Nationwide surveys show that 43% of Americans are obese, while 10% are morbidly obese.

Is it a problem though? A lot of people have to have their own healthcare. If they're obese they have to pay for this. Therefore the problem is their own, it's not anyone else's problem.

Many, if not most, obese patients with chronic medical conditions are poor and do not pay for their own healthcare at all

I suspect the sickening of Americans has a lot to do with these…

Any oil is horrible for you.

It's just empty calories

Carbs do not make you fat.

Eating a sweet potato or brown rice or beans and legumes and whole fruits is not going to make you fat.

The general health and fitness of the people affects the overall security of the nation in various ways.

True. Ironically, it's the healthy people's healthcare dollars that pay for them.

Protein and fats, often eaten at the same time, share some similarities in how your body digests and absorbs them, but, for the most part, the processes are different.

Eating more calories, regardless of the source, than you burn makes you fat.

Fats that naturally occur in foods are not refined oils are they?

There is no need to add oils to any foods

You said carbs make you fat they don't

 

[iamwhatiseem]

It's the sugar people.
If a person drinks just 48 oz. of soda a day - that is 39 teaspoons of sugar.

Not if you eat oily foods.
That's a problem with the vegan diet; not enough fats.

You said carbs make you fat they don't

I said too many carbs can make you fat.
Carbs turn into sugar in your gut. Sugar can make you fat. Ever hear the term "bread belly"?

 

[Blues Man]

Not if you eat oily foods.

All foods have some fat in them and that's all you need.

There is no need to seek out high fat foods
