Fat news anchor gets some good advice.

I see skiny people in wheel chair who have managed to eat right. So with junk food being cheaper than meat and vegetables at the store people will buy those, but if you aren't working you are creating fat cells. Once your body makes fat cells, they are hard to destroy. Also stuff like video games play a role.

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.

The guys a douche and should hop out of her business. I could understand telling a friend or family member that youre concerned about their weight but its none of your business, especially when its just a random stranger from TV.

She's a public figure bro, you don't have to know her.

I've seen far worse lol

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

That's what the graph says lol


As for this "it could be a genitic disorder" crap.
Just remember, we're in the 21st century, if anything obesity rates should be lowering because of all the new medical advancements.
The only factor here that increases it is people's own unhealthy choices.

People need to stop using the "junkfood is cheaper" card as an excuse for why they eat nothing but stuff. You can buy ingredients for a meal that can feed a family and possibly have leftovers for just as much as you can a burger, soda, and fries for everyone at McDonalds.

People are just lazy and dont feel like cooking. Not that I blame them, many people work multiple jobs in this economy.

how in the world is it dumb? A lot of people these days are fat because it's so much easier to be lazy and eat fattening foods than it is to stay dedicated and get out and sweat on a track.

See dusty's visual.

That only proves you wrong.  The only yellow-marked countries I can see are small African nations and China.  African nations are self explanatory, but China has over a billion people.  It is incredibly difficult for a country like China to be able to consume  the same proportional amount of resources per person that the United States consumes (hint we have about 311 million people versus china's 1.3 billion).  People stuff their faces all the time in the US while most people in China live on amounts that we would call "barely enough".

a bag of chips is three whole dollars what are you even talking about

And yet healthier food is probably twice that at $6.  I don't know exactly for sure but junk food and "processed/unhealthy" foods are generally cheaper than "fresh/organic" foods because of their inexpensive process.  For instance my school prices bottled water at $1.50 and a cup of soda (non-refillable) at $1.35.

are you serious

how many genetic disorders has humanity completely erased from our biological trees with modern medicine

[Planr]

Yeah seriously, it's because of all our advanced technology that there's so many fat people. Not genetics or whatever ridiculous stuff they say. Its blatantly obvious so I don't see how anyone could miss it.

9/11 was done by the government. Its blatantly obvious so I don't see how anyone could miss it.

I'll bet that most obese people don't have any disorders.

[Aces]

I love how the people arguing against obesity are either right under the obese mark or are toothpicks who don't know how hard it is to gain/lose weight.

You're pinning responsibilities on people you will never come close to having the same struggle as.

Yes, blatantly obvious.

So blatantly obvious that the three or so seconds it would take to explain such an elementary concept just simply isn't necessary.
