U.S. Obesity Rate to Hit 42% by 2050

Link

Apparently, if current trends continue, the obesity rate won't level off until it hits 42% of the adult population by mid-century.

Discuss.

People are lazy.

It's not just food. You can watch what you eat but if you don't burn off what you eat it doesn't matter. My girl and I were talking about this just yesterday as we maneuvered around a tight parking lot with three cars parked in the fire lane near the door: the parking spaces were 10 feet away (like I said, tight parking lot) and they couldn't be bothered to walk that extra distance.

It's like the people around me who get in their cars, drive to the end of their driveway (~80 yards) to check the mail, and then drive back up to the house. These people go to work and sit on their asses, then come home and sit on their asses. And they wonder why they're fat.

Yes, I said FAT. Deal with it.

They're lazy.

I don't have the best diet in the world, in fact it's pretty $hitty, but I easily burn off what I eat by busting my ass in the yard or walking the 2 miles to town. Just because I have a car doesn't mean I have to use it to go everywhere.

I would think that when it gets hard to walk you would realize, "Oh, no, I'm too fat, I need to cut back" but it seems people just think, "oh, its my metabolsim" like they have no choice. When I was little, my friend had a sleepover for his birthday party. It was like, 12 kids and we got 3 pizzas. His dad got 5. I was watching him eat them while he was writing some stuff for work. He would take two slices, fold them with one hand and shove it into his mouth and it was gone in like, 4 bites. He was HUGE. I don't know how a person can become a blob, especially with all of the health stuff we know now, you KNOW when you are being horrible to your body.

2050? LOL. More like 2020 at the latest.

Over weight people tend to live longer according to new studied... so eat awaaaaaaaaay.Dogswithguns

I'm in better shape than anyone on this forum. sonicare

I'm not a body-builder or anything, and I don't actually work out, but I get enough physical labor working in my yard, on the house and going to my parents to do the more demanding labor with the horses. I've got some pretty good definition going on with my arms and torso, but I'm no muscle-man competitor.

But when I take my shirt off at the public swim hole, I'm usually the only one there not sucking in.:D

Haha.

This news is so shocking! I think I need some comfort corn syrup to make myself feel better.

Sugar and processed foods, as well as subsidies for these foods, are the reason many people are overweight.

I'll be honest with you, I grew up a fat kid and it never bothered me until I started looking for that special someone.

Most people want to lose weight to be healthier and look better, I wanted to lose weight because it made my penis look smaller.

I have a wider build than most, so even at 20+ kg above normal I still had nice proportions and was fairly athletic(played football).

But, even with a build that can accommodate extra pounds without looking terribly out of shape, it didn't stop the fat from invading my groin making my sizable penis look much smaller than it is.

That was the final straw, I went on a diet and dropped most of it in 3 months.

Still somewhat chubby, but my penis is much more visible, and that's an improvement. Now I'm eating well and lifting weights regularly, and once I hit that 300+ bench press, 400+ squat and 500+ deadlift, I'll cut down to normal body fat.

WALL-E called it.

I say we change the words "In God We Trust", on the U.S. currency to "Fatty Fatty, Boom Ba Latty."Allicrombie
