  • What?  That ratio exists in America in the area of obesity? That's a national disaster.

  • Even if you eat less and walk a lot it's not that easy to lose weight. I know girls who are obese and starve themselves and don't lose any weight. Someone can eat all the fruits and vegetables they want and not lose weight and there's no medical explanation. Weight loss surgery is a joke I think your shit is based on scientic measures rather than observation. Have you ever sat down with a Bulimic or a binge eater. Eating Disorders effect people of all sizes. I think you need more research

  • great information!

  • If stress drugs were cheap people would take those instead of increasing their caloric intake. Like Anorexia & Bulimia, overeating is a disorder. Something in the brain releases hormones to tell the body to keep on eating while for Anorexics it's to not eat at all & for Bulimics it's to purge the food, whether to purge through vomiting or over exercising. It's about coping with stress & controlling situations. Each person is different. When society finally sees this, the closer to an end of it.

  • OBESITY IS A BY PRODUCT. Please see OBESITY THUNDER BAY on youtube.AGAINST OBESITY NOT AGAINST OBESE PEOPLE. IS FOOD A SUBSTANCE???? I am working to build a healthy marriage with food. I am far too busy walking each day to bother with a scale. I am working toward BALANCE. I mood altered with food,and I sought out treatment for a BINGE EATING DISORDER.
