Among all developed countries, Americans are the fattest people in the world. The World Health Organization found over 60% of the American population is obese or overweight. Even more disturbing, the U.S. is the only country in the developed world to label obesity a national security health risk. Top Pentagon officials have warned Americans are becoming so fat, most of those volunteering for the Army are disqualified because of their size. Child obesity is also on the rise in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control estimates 1 in every 3 American kids are either obese or overweight. Jeffrey Smith, the author of Seeds of Deception, points to the mass production and consumption of genetically modified foods in the U.S. as a possible source of the problem.

  • Question: If GMO food is so bad for you, why do you keep pointing out highly processed food? Doesn't it seem as if the media is pointing towards processed food as being the culprit? They don't point at whole foods from the produce section--who would blame the produce?  Most produce is GMO too. Educate yourself, don't just believe the media

  • Good food is very expensive in America. Bad food is cheap.

  • GMOs or not, a shitty diet will and less exercise will make you fat.

  • CORN, CANOLA and SOY are 90% GMO too and in most of our products today. it's where HFCS comes from.Look at any packaged snack food and you'll see them or oil

  • did you know... CORN, GRAINS and PUFA oils are fed to livestock to

    "FATTEN THEM UP' ? yep, they do this to lower their thyroid (causes weight gain) and this causes suppressed immune system too. The animals fatten up with oils and farmers need less feed which is CHEAPER. Another reason the animals are always on antibiotics. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! to read more, go to Ray Peat.com

  • @mikeymouseheheepic1 GMOs are not healthy either, they are causing tumors and other immune system damage in lab animals
