Re: Fat Americans!

Guys, obesity can be solved when people are given a reality check. Lets stop telling people to eat vegetables and exercise 1 hour a day. That will never happen. Instead we should spend just a little on educating HIGH SCHOOL KIDS on how much calories to eat everyday. You can tell them that you are aloud to eat everything you would normally eat including mcdonalds and pizzas. Just eat less of it. And I know this because i lost 45 pounds because one day I realized that I don't need to eat vegetables or exercise everyday to lose weight, i simply needed to stop eating 2500 calories a day.

Trust me, education on "nutrition" only drives people away and it is basically throwing money at something and making the situation worse.

Re: Fat Americans!

red rooster; its not so simple. there is no single solution; and people that think there is, is part of the problem. everyone cant solve it through diet, everyone cant solve it through exercise, everyone cant solve it through pills or surgery; stop simplifying the problem. just like in everything else, you will see the best results when you have customized solutions for each individual.

also, limiting calories but still eating poorly may solve obesity for some people, but it creates plenty of problems in itself. not something to be encouraged.

Re: Fat Americans!

Well you are not going to find a solution that as close to a solution as this one. If it does create problems then we will have to deal with those separate problems individually but overall obesity is the main problem. Obesity leads to many diseases so if one can maintain the normal weight than they are usually in good shape.

Re: Fat Americans!

Being fuelled by consumerism so long, an attitude change towards a lot of things is necessary.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Fat Americans!

I'm with cloud on this one. The government is making poor people fat.

A slow metabolism also means less enenergy and less activity. Yes, if you eat more you need to do more activity to not gain weight. duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Metabolism has nothing to do with it. Everyone has a different metabolism. If yours is slow you'll eat less and do less, presuming you're healthy. If it's crazy fast you'll eat more and do way more, presuming you're healthy. This is not advanced information. This is not something we need to spend millions/billions of dollars educating children about. The bottom line we learn from it (really regardless of it, I'm just claiming to give credit to a pointless bit of information to be nice) is: The more you eat and less you do, the fatter you'll get. Surprise. How enlightening.

Re: Fat Americans!

You can beat a man with a stick, but you cant stick a man with a beat.
Or can you? yikes.


Either way, no single solution will do for this problem.

Re: Fat Americans!

It does? It never helped me gain weight or lose it. I did all of the eating and activity on my own. In fact, they helped me lose a lot more than gain. I have to pay to eat, but I can get paid for all kinds of work. You have it totally backwards.

Re: Fat Americans!

Thats absurd. I never said anything about wasting $$$.


Look at your TV commercials. Look at your childrens lunch boxes. Look at the amount of exericse the average person in your country gets.

Re: Fat Americans!

I'm sorry but I'm NEVER going to accept WHINING [Oh SOCIETY MADE me do it!] and IRRESPONSIBILITY [my life is someone else's fault and problem!] and STUPIDITY [nobody told me that eating like a pig and doing as much as a pig would make me the size of a pig! nobody taught me about food/activity/weight! I had no idea how this most basic fact of life worked!] as justification for wasting tax money trying to give people discipline, common sense, and reasonable habbits that tax money will NEVER give them.

Re: Fat Americans!

Adding "You sir" in front of a simpleton insult doesn't make it posh.

I can't tell you how good it makes me feel when idiots call me an idiot. If they didn't, I'd be doing something wrong.

Re: Fat Americans!

I'm not sure if I'm idiot because I'm not fat, because I don't think tax money should be spent purely on the basis of "they're whining," or just because he's dumb. Fortunately, I do not care. big_smile

Re: Fat Americans!

Fat people are not Fat because they are lazy and eat a horse everyday.

Its because they have big bones and a medical condition.

Just ask any Fat person and they will tell you.

Just like people in prison are all innocent.
