  • Starve a fat kid (or anyone else for that matter) and they will eat whatever is available at the first opportunity! This is not a character defect it is a function of human biology.

  • It's not calories in vs. calories out..... Until the "experts" get off of that horse this epidemic will continue to worsen. Carbohydrate consumption drives fat storage via insulin. See the Adiposity 101 videos here on YouTube. This is not new knowledge. It has been known for decades, yet the establishment particularly here in the US contiunues to embrace failed treatments. So who funds many of the studies for the establishment? The big pharmaceutical companies! Isn't that nice?

  • Kids feel so restricted during the week that they binge at the candy store??? Hello! Stop giving your kids money if you don't know how they are spending it! It is as simple as that. American kids are being brought up as sissies anyways and that is why they grow up to be some of the most mindless, uneducated, and complacently stagnant people in the world even though they live in a country where everyone wishes to immigrate to.

  • I would recommend anyone dealing with obesity go to the library and read Gary Taubes "Why We Get Fat" or any other work in the area of low carbohydrate treatment for obesity. Atkins did not invent any of this. German scientists were did a tremendous amount of work in this area back before WWII. Much of it was ignored by the American medical establishment ever since the war. Atkins was simply the first to reinvestigate this work back in the 1970s. I believe this is the correct path.

  • "It is very diffcult to make a child overweight"

    Then explain to me the TWO-THIRDS that are. Here is a woman that bases obesity on lack of self-control, not genetics, and yet she makes it sound that it is SELDOM to become overweight. I was disappointed to hear this from a very intelligent woman :(

  • Obesity in many many cases is caused by overconsumption of carbohydrate, not fat and protein. Many obese people will find that their body will actually respond well to a high protein/high fat, low carbohydrate diet similar to Atkins etc.Roth is well intended but she's clearly on the wrong track and pissing off fat people everywhere with her abrasive approach, mannerisms and personality. Furthermore BMI is junk science that has no place in determining health status

    We don't need food police.

  • @FiberMania Good point about the protein, however one should careless how fat people feel about being called FAT, which is what they are. They need to stop being crybabies and educating themselves on how to lose weight.

  • @DontForgetIran2010 The problem is that the medical establishment has embraced a treatment based on faulty science. Energy balance (calories in vs. calories out) theory is completely ineffective for long term loss of body fat because it does not deal with the biological factors that regulate fat storage. High insulin levels are the mechanism that drives fat storage. The "treatment" the medical establishment refuses to let go of is a proven failure.

  • @DontForgetIran2010 Fat people overeat BECAUSE their bodies are bigger. Larger cars will consume more fuel. However eating more is not CAUSE of their excess fat accumulation it is the RESULT of it. Bringing insulin levels down with a carbohydrate restricted diet is the best long term strategy to bring down body fat levels. This is not driven by a lack of willpower or self discipline in most cases. Obesity is largely due to metabolic troubles driven by elevated insulin levels in the blood. CARBS!

  • @FiberMania Most educated people are well aware that excess carbs, especially excess sugar, is to be avoided at all costs. However, I always wonder why obesity is so prevalent in the US and not in other parts of the world.

  • @DontForgetIran2010 Actually you are incorrect. For the last thirty years, the health establishment here in the US has been pushing a calorie restricted (semi-starvation) low fat high carbohydrate diet for weight loss. This may work SHORT TERM, but the body will ALWAYS seek to recover lost resources. Short of chaining a person in a cage and keeping them in semi-starvation this is never a permanant solution. The energy balance theory (CALORIES IN vs.CALORIES OUT) is just plain wrong.

  • @DontForgetIran2010 Insulin is the primary hormone that governs fat regulation in the body. High insulin levels in the body are caused primarily by carbohydrate consumption. Diet (calorie restriction) and exercise have an abysmal track record as a treatment for obesity yet the establishment contimues to beat the same drum. Until the "experts" here in the US start paying more attention to fat regulation systems in the body this obesity epidemic will contimue to worsen.

  • let me live to see these kids hit 18

  • OMG Its the food Nazi!! Already brainwashed her kids. Look at the helmet head her son has, is that organic hair spray?

  • aaaw those poor children!!!

  • Fuck Meme Roth it's one thing to want to encourage people to make better choices it's another to push for social engineering laws to force people to make better.

  • @flootisboy65 Go fuck yourself asshole. Meme is an awesome, intelligent, and attractive woman who is spreading a very good message to people.

  • @VitalSigns1 I didn't know facism is a good message. Attractive I would take Jordin Sparks over this twig anyday. Intelligent disguising your hatred of fat people as science intelligent dietary advice isn't what I would call intelligent.

  • @swirty89 I'd take Meme Roth over Jordin Sparks anyday.

  • I agree with her. Kids need to be taught a healthy lifestyle early on. This junk that we have in america is killing us and I know my parents and grandparents didnt rely or binge on these unhealthy foods like our generation does.

  • @VitalSigns1 boo!

    

  • where is the dad?

  • @missyouhoo He probably hung himself.

  • @missyouhoo He probably hung himself.

  • I can respect her very very much for giving her children a good start I am 231 lbs and 5 foot 7 inches tall .. NOT good.. But I can also see how her children may come out "unhealthy" in the mind as well

  • meme jail the fat hamburger eaters and then kill them...the fat police rules...

  • People who claim that MeMe Roth is extreme, don't realize just how extreme the obesity epidemic is with our kids.

  • why do people measure life by how many years you lived but not by how good the years were. if i spent my whole life dieting and excerizing i would not have lived the years good

  • MeMe Roth's Parent report card

    Keeping kids healthy: A+

    letting kids have Fun: F-

    setting kids up for a good social life: D-

  • @wingo0pandas Why is eating healthy automatically precluding kids from having fun, or having a good social life. There is so much more to having fun in life than being able to consume junk food without restraint. Kids can dance, play sports, play an instrument, chase each other, etc - all things that don't entail gluttony. And a slim and fit son or daughter has a far better social life, just by virtue of the fact that they look better. Trust me, Meme Roth would have no problem getting a date.

  • @alphacause i never said being healthy is bad its just the extremeness of what she is doing. i mean come on if the daughters class mates come up to her and say "your moms weird" they are gonna asume she and her brother is weird and there for sets them up for a bad social life. why is life measured by years lived but not by how good the years were. this is what i did two nights ago. i relaxed and just watched TV from morning till afternoon. ate a crap load of pizza, then once it hit night time

  • @wingo0pandas i went to a night club with my friends and partying and got wasted. thats living. excersizing and eating "health" foods and just being safe is not living. and btw what do you mean MeMe Roth would have no problem with dates im surprised shes married. as a man we hate women that are picky eaters and are weight concsious and besides shes not even hot. i have had GF WAY hotter than her.

  • i will bet my right eye that those kids dont have many friends

  • @wingo0pandas Im about to hit McD's right now !

    And yes they prob dont. The mom is right to an extent. I would like to know where the husband is...

    Thats one way to get rid of a man. telling him what to eat lol.

  • I dont like this dumb bimbo

  • Comment removed

  • She is a scum bag. Fucking food nazi bitch

  • @MustangTE30 fuck you. you're okay with the fat fucking useless people in America? go ahead and say so but don't be mad at people who think this should stop.

  • @365to173repubsPWNED Are you fucking kidding me?? Just because people are fat doesn't mean they are useless. NFL lineman are fat, are they useless? Oprah is fat, is she useless? My brother is fat, he is a cop, is he useless?

    No person should be telling people they can't be fat. It's none of your business if they are fat or not. They can eat what the fuck they want without having faggots like you and MeMe Roth telling them what to do. You fucking idiots know people can be fat AND healthy right?

  • @365to173repubsPWNED You fucking Food Nazi's know we live in America right? Which means people have the right to be fat if they want. Go to fucking China if you want to be able to tell people how to live.

  • @MustangTE30 and you want to silence people who call out the fat digusting useless humans in this country out on their shit. you want her and people like her to shut up. who's the nazi? we hate fat fucking pigs. this is america right? if you don't want us to hate lazy fucks and try to help america's obesity epidemic why don't you move to FatFuckistan

  • @365to173repubsPWNED I'm not trying to silence anyone retard. You can hate on fat people all you want, but this bitch MeMe is ACTING on her hate for fat people and trying control them. Where did I try to shut anyone up? Nowhere you fucking moron.

    You arent trying to help them. You are trying to control them. They HAVE THE RIGHT to be fat you idiot. Why aren't you trying to help the anorexic freaks who are too skinny???? Because you and this cunt MeMe Roth are food Nazi's.

  • @MustangTE30 You are trying to shut her up as much as she is trying to control what they eat. Her major efforts are getting fatty foods out of schools and putting calorie counts on fast food menus. Thats the big deal? You want schools to offer kids pizza and twinkies for lunch? Shouldn't their parents be donig that? Obesity is about 100 times the killer anorexia is. That's like asking me to be about as angry about boat crashes killing people as car crashes killing people. fucking dumb

  • @365to173repubsPWNED She hates fat people. She founded the NAAO: National Association Against Obesity. Watch her other videos, she wants the government to TAX fat people. What the fuck??? She is a cunt bitch. She can hate that people are fat, but the fact that she does all this shit to fat people is fucking horrible. There are plenty of fat people who are fucking healthy but you and that bitch don't wanna here that.

    Cigarettes are 100x the killer obesity is, why don't you demonize that, faggot?

  • @365to173repubsPWNED She wants to make it illegal for fat people to eat out. She wants parents of fat kids to go to prison. WATCH HER VIDEOS AND HER DEBATES. She is a NAZI, a FASCIST. She is a CUNT.

    You need to educate yourself before you argue. She doesnt just want to end bad food on school menus, idiot.

  • @MustangTE30 I need to educate myself? You are so blind and truly believe your strawman arguments. I have watched at least 10 of her interviews, nowhere does she say that. If you want to get mad at her simply because she's saying America has a fatness problem instead of dealing with your own self-loathing insecurities regarding your weight (assuming you're the fat fuck you sound like), then you have a serious problem.

  • @365to173repubsPWNED She wants to ban girl scout cookies, what the fuck???

    Nowhere does she support a fat tax?????? Watch her debate with "The Guy From Boston" on FOX News.

    Maybe you should watch another 10 of her interviews idiot

  • make you fat.

  • 5 hours a day, every day their entire young life, but thats not what she's doing. She's actually being involved in what her children eat and not looking the other way and making excuses by allowing her children to eat junkfood. 34601k, no disrespect, but its the thought process that, "Hey, its just a donut" is the reason why obesity is so prevalent in America. Its not calories or sugar per say that you need to watch for. Its the artificial ingredients in foods that upset your hypothalamus and

  • Though they tried to spin it in the sense that her children are inert to high fructose corn syrup (one of the most noticeable poisons) thats not what she said. She gives them a container to put junk food that they get from teachers, vending machines, and so on and so forth and they discuss whether they can eat when they get home. If thats not being a good mother and making sure your kids are healthy then honestly what is? I could see if they were taking supplements every day and working out

  • Its funny when the media says, "Our kids are fat!! What do we do???" and they show a woman taking the steps necissary to combat obesity in America, she is quickly thrown in a harsh light as being "OCD" or crazy. Meanwhile her kids are probably in the top 10% of the most healthiest children in America. And while I agree with jackrumorz on the idea of making them miserable now rather than for the rest of their lives, this woman in particular is not making them miserable.

  • A great way to cut our Health Care costs is to take better care of ourselves. By eating better and exercising more and better. Obesity and Diabetes are the two fastest growing diseases in America. Both are preventable.

  • The best mom in the world. I wish more people are aware of this.

  • @jackrumorz No she is fucking nuts. I agree that kids should eat healthy and when I have kids they are going to be very active and not eat alot of sweets. But sweet containers and fish oil pills? Really? Thats just nuts.

  • @34601k I agree with you partially, I don't know what the fish oil pills are for. But it's ok to have the kids avoid and be miserable now than to be miserable for the rest of their lives. You know who they blame once they become obese, their families and people around them, because nobody told them so. It's how you see it. It's ok to cultivate good habits.

  • @jackrumorz Yeah good habits are fine but the whole part with her yelling and freaking out about donuts is pretty insane. I'm like calm down woman! Its 200 damn calories in a krispy kreme origanal donut! If you and your kids can't burn that much in 10 minutes you guys are working out with turtles then. The whole fish oil thing is supposed to help your skin but they are kids so its kinda pointless. I don't see why they can't just eat a gummy bear vitamin instead, those are sugar free too.

  • She is so right. I applaud her work! No matter how OCD it sounds.
