Sad and will greatly impact health expenditures in the future
Diabetes is already straining the health system.

Fats are disgusting and they abuse their kids by making them fat

As much as this thread will turn into a fat shaming free for all, I just want to say that shaming fat people is unhealthy because when people have hurt feelings their body produces cortisol which in turn promotes fat storage. I guarantee every large person you see has tried a bunch of diets and workouts and still can't seem to lose weight. Unfortunately the fact of the matter is that if you have large genetics it's very hard to lose weight and keep it off!

Probably because...now a lot of both parents work...dinner is Drive-thru and not healthy home-cooked meal...(if that's even possible now - with all the crap they put in foods.)
So most people are eating disgusting Fast Food or processed foods from the Grocery store that are full of saturated fat and sodium.
You have to work hard in today's America to eat healthy...farmer's market, Whole Foods or your own supply...and even that stuff you planeted IS GMO. Eating healthy beyond foraging can be expensive.
Finding non-adulterated food is becoming increasingly impossible. All the shite they pump into chickens, stores fat in the body...hormones in milk - Cow's milk is already designed by nature to make a baby Calf real fat, real quickly...and now you pump in more fat sealing junk.
We have created a total food marketplace designed to be quick, convenient and long-shelf lives. And that has resulted in food that does everything the opposite of what food is supposed to do...provide nutrition, vitamins and keep you alive...instead of make you fat and give you life threatening disease.
And National Geographic had a great article on the history of Sugar a few years ago. Synopsis: Sugar is a poison and total toxin for your body and mind.

Sad but true
Huge problem with far reaching implications...
Health was traded for convenience...

It is 2017. Can we not give statistics based on fat percentage instead of the archaic BMI? Hell, a high school linebacker is considered “obese” based on the BMI. I am not as concerned with the number of people that are overweight or even obese based on the BMI, but there are so many people that are morbidly obese that cannot even function in society.

thank you. More proof that what people think about health and "fat" is not necessarily correct. Some extra pounds here and there doesn't necessarily make you unhealthy
we don't even have a good scale to measure obesity with

It's because the Mexicans have taken all their work. Trump is getting them off the couch.

How are we defining obese?
By BMI standards, I'm overweight (5'9 170, age 39)

There is ample historical evidence that the roots of the obesity pandemic do reach much further back in time than is commonly asserted.
For the 19th century, we have samples from the West Point Military Academy revealing that by today’s standards BMI values were amazingly low: 19-year-old white cadets - About 90% of the cadets were below today’s median reference value.
In addition, these data indicate that there was very little change in weights in the 19th century.
A true surge in BMI values took place among those born after the First World War. Note that 18-year-old men increased by 28.5 pounds during the course of the 20th century but half of that increase took place among those born before World War II.
Hence, these data indicate that a considerable increase in weight had already taken place by the time the first national survey was taken in 1959-1962.
20th century was the birth of canned and processed foods.
The most obvious factors of the 20th century rise in obseity:
1. the major labour-saving technological changes of the 20th century,
2. the industrial processing of food and with it the spread of fast-food eateries (To illustrate the spread of fast food culture, consider that White Castle, the first drive-in restaurant, was founded in 1921. McDonald started operation in the late 1940s, Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1952, Burger King in 1954, Pizza Hut in 1958, Taco Bell in 1962, and Subway in 1962.),
3. the associated culture of consumption,
4. the rise of an automobile-based way of life,
5. the introduction of radio and television broadcasting,
6. the increasing participation of women in the work force, and
7. the IT revolution.

We need to. Back when I was in college I was considered overweight even though I was in great shape. Now I'm considered overweight because I'm just fricking overweight. But I have the same BMI as I did in college.

quote:What difference does it make what you call obese unless they start basing your insurance premium on your height and weight? A simple BMI is a pretty rough estimate but it serves its purpose. When you get into morbid obesity numbers and when or if you qualify for bariatric surgery and such, they use more sophisticated measuring techniques.
