100,00 hits on google? That’s your proof that people are genetically pre-disposed to being fat? Hmm. Will the president force carriers to cover Stupid too? I’m sure that contributes to your health problems.
Stop picking on the obese without knowing their specific issue. Genetics DO Play a part with some people. Others DO have food issues. Metabalism has a HUGE part in a persons weight issues too!
I just read an article this week about the genetics/obesity link. Guess what folks, there IS one…and multiple genes are involved…so don’t be so quick to condemn.
You can look at a lot of this reserach in any medical journal, and some of the not for profits that work on anti-aging as well as anti-obesity research.
This is not to say that personal choice as well as societal factors (those restaurant portions) and consumer habits (we are programmed to be fatty/salty carnivores and that is what our groceries provide so much of)but it isn’t all that simple as “eat a salad.”
I agree with the nutritional education. I just don’t think it’s very effective people start taking it serious only after they develop diabetes or other disease that are even more costly and now you have a nutrition councelor and diabetes medication that insurance companies need to pay out more $$. Lap Band procedure seems to be safe, reversable and you will be forced to cut down on your food intake. Just my thoughts…
just like tobacco…………
Tax the heck out of chips, cookies,candy, donuts and soda pop. I mean like $10 a bag!! Plow the tax revenue back into the agri business to lower/supplement the costs on healthy produce. It would also help the farmers and supporting industries.
There are a lot of people in the U.S. that are just plain stupid when it comes to eating. See it all the time in the check out line at the market. There’s a lot of high calorie, high sugar, high fat, high sodium crap that gets sold as………. food?
Just look around—our US population IS FAT

This is just moronic. It’s as out-dated and punitive as depriving alcholics and drug addicts of treatment because they’re weak-willed.
If you Google it, you will get over 100,000 hits!

Wow, I am glad that I recently reached my goal in weight loss. Now what will I do about this 2 pack a day smoking habit? Hmm……..
