Obesity in America

[Htown20XX]

300 lbs is very common. There are quite a few 400 lb people. What's amazing is people have got so huge they don't think they are fat. I'm 5-6 230 (I'm a bodybuilder). I get told I'm too thin and don't eat enough

[BlueReishiMan]

One theory of why people overeat that is rarely discussed and few people know is that most people are eating deficient food. Obesity is really a deficiency disease. When food is grown in poor fertilizer with only 3 minerals NPK, which is common in industrial agriculture they never achieve nourishment, they just take in empty calories and there stomach sends a signal to their brain to keep eating. Obesity is not a disease of excess it is a disease of deficiency. I know what Im talking about

so affluent as a nation? do people still believe that?

[scrateshooter]

Fast food corporations make people fat? So, if I don't eat the burger will the fast food executive shoot me? Like Denzel did to Jake Hoyt in Training Day?

Don't eat at most resturants or cafeterias, or fast food, they dont prepare their foods as healthy as you think, I wouldn't eat a steak from any resturant, instead i just go to a meat market buy a good steak(cheap) and put it on my charcoal grill, eat all of it the fat Etc it is all good for you, don't eat it too often though, moderation is key when it comes to any food that once had a Liver(cholesterol, Your body produces all the cholesterol from your own liver that it will ever need)

if everybody realize taste last few seconds in the mouth and then the problem can be resolved. Just fill your stomach with healthy foodi

[MadMAn12gauge]

@Dream...Taste is considered Conditinal, and it is all in your head, As a child i was very picky even up till my late teens,but after a while i realized the stuff i thought tasted bad really didn't taste bad at all, If you eat healthy food you will aquire a taste for it because your body begins to desire it more because of the efficiency of it, and your taste buds will adapt, nobody says you have to eat raw lettuce or rice patties, i admit that crap is pretty awefull, eat a Steak non-fried

[MadMAn12gauge]

this is what i believe, Buisinesses are taking advantage of people who arn't self aware (or adults) and the funny thing is they think everyone is stupid...and they are right...i do think everyone is stupid or something, because this shit shouldnt be making a single DIME out of an Actual Adult. yet it is...so, people need to grow up and start paying more attention to shit, these buisinesses dont care about your health, they want to make money off your inability to think like an adult till you die

[MadMAn12gauge]

yeah whats crazy is if people just take a second and take off their jesus glasses, and really take a look around their Environment, and ask themselves, why are there soo many fast food places? why is there all Sugar and candy items at the market checkstand? why is it that my gas station only sells garbage food? why are the healthy foods on comercials not tell you the prices of what they advertise? why are most comercials advertising what you shouldnt eat or use? something is fucked up...

[dream2last]

@MadMAn12gauge because they all trying to make money of you. They will never tell you truth. You have to figure out by yourself

[jjwrom]

Who cares if people want to be fat, that is their decision. What we need to do is enforce the immigration laws and STOP illegal immigration.

[MadMAn12gauge]

it matters dude, obiesity effects a lot of things, Employment and healthcare...

people are fat because theres no convienience of the healthy option,

when junk food is more convienient and easier to get what do you think people are going to eat, especially if the unhealthy food costs a lot less, it makes eating healthy a luxury.if people are eating bad, job performance, replaced by who is more efficient, it wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt over 140m americans that are 40 lbs or more overwieght

[jjwrom]

Ok, you are right. I still think people need to step it up and do something themselves about their health.

[MadMAn12gauge]

yeah but i dont expect people do be as intelligent as i am and see things for what they are, the population isn't able to make choices because they arn't truely adults or educated enough to understand, if your able to be scammed by it, your able to be scammed by everything and even think that unhealthy food actually is satasfactory and tasty,once you eat right long enough, you will understand how bad unhealthy food was for you and how it didnt help you at all. same as drugs to the mentality

[donjabroni]

Totally agree with your statement. People don't see the effect it has on everyone.

[TaBaS911]

and did you get you're scholarship?

[halomlg2]

can i use this video on my obesity cause page

[tstewartfan15]

Government can't do anything about changing the eating habits of Americans, it is our choice to choose what we eat and how much. Governmet is the Problem, Ronald Reagan.

[donjabroni]

Yes, to a certain extent, especially the children, but the Government shouldn't sit back and do nothing about it while the obesity problem is running wild.

And "our choice" is causing a rise in health cost, medical problems, etc. So if your "choice" is causing the problem, then SOMEBODY or SOMETHING better put a stop in it.

[BlogShag]

@donjabroni @ that's a bunch of bunk. If you put healthy food in front of many Americans, gave them a choice of a fat cheeseburger or sardine salad, guess which one they'd choose? And the notion that people eat bad food because they are poor is baloney. They eat it, cause they're spoiled, and Taco Bell & McDonalds are very convenient. Healthy meals are prepared at home. How much money do these "poor" people spend at bars every weekend or on their cell phones, instead of eating healthy.

[donjabroni]

Of course it's convenient, when you're working 10-12 a day and you're dead tired. Why do you want to cook when you're dead tired from work? The drinking and cell phone thing you're right on, but guess what? It's not only poor people doing it, but a lot of middle class people and young urban professionals as well.
