Fat news anchor gets some good advice.

There weren't many fat people 200 years ago, so the whole genetics thing is bullstuff in my opinion.

Yes there were, the wealthy have almost always been fat until more recent times.

I could easily go visit some poor african tribe and go "Hmm theyre all skinny. Genetics is BS"

riiiiight america is the only one with a bajillion percent of fat people

I didn't say only country. Japan and China have 5% or less. They are first world countries. The UK is a little bit less than us, and they are first world and have primarily the same ethnicity.

Clearly the obesity problem in America is due to something other than development and ethnicity.

Yes the wealthy, but I talking about the low class people you see at Walmart who ride the electric carts. One of the causes is the fact the high carbohydrate/fatty foods such as a bag of chips is cheaper than something like lettuce.

could it be

cultural differences

and food differences?????

AKA china is starving.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

that's why everyone is skinny because it's so easy guys right am i right i'm right yep right right

People are skinny because they can afford healthy food instead of cheap stuff and have the motivation to change.

There are so many poor people that have to eat cheap unhealthy stuff. South Africa* is moderized but has tons of poor people so they eat bad stuff.

Culture and food in England is similar to ours. Though they are pretty high up in the obese range.

There were tons of people riding electric carts through Walmart two hundred years ago.

And did it ever occur to you that maybe they had a problem that required them to ride in the carts? That perhaps they had trouble walking and thats what led too their obesity.

[Doomonkey]

I'm not saying that genetics don't have any role either. With our modern medicine advancements, people with genetic problems have a much higher chance to live and reproduce. Being more prone to obesity is probably a big issue for a lot of people in the United States, but a balanced diet isn't some sort of impossible thing to achieve.

It's not because of genetics, it's because of technology. Technology has made life so easy people can live lazy and that's why there are more fat people. Technology let's em sit in their big chairs with their bluebell ice cream tub and their big gulp soda while they watch Paula deans cooking show featuring her butter religion.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

A ton of your arguements are "people have genetic problems, physical problems, illnesses, ect. when there is no real evidence suggesting that's the case in say, Mississippi.

[Dusty12]

Of course not but like I said there's a difference between genuine concern for a human being's health and attacking them for it. You don't know that person at all. There might be a lot more to it, and your comments could do more harm than good.

I agree.
