America's obesity crisis appears more unstoppable than ever.

A troubling new report released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that almost 40 percent of American adults and nearly 20 percent of adolescents are obese — the highest rates ever recorded for the U.S.

"It's difficult to be optimistic at this point," said Dr. Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. "The trend of obesity has been steadily increasing in both children and adults despite many public health efforts to improve nutrition and physical activity."

The politically correct movement praising big is beautiful is contributing to it.

Holy shite.

Not just overweight. Obese.

2 in 5 people!

Like I said in my thread a few weeks ago, the average american adult is a disaster.

That's such bs. It's not even that high in the south, which is much higher than the north.

My wife works with a lady who has a 5 year old that is 80 pounds. She looks like honey boo boo.

Anyway, the parent was offended when the pediatrician told her that her child needed to lose weight. She went on a Facebook rant and actual adults consoled her and told her to go after the doctor.

This is the society that we live in.

We're addicted to shiny screens. No time for exercise or cooking decent meals.

If we can't be honest with people about being fat then how do we stop them from getting more fat.

I mean, The China Study is all we need to know on this subject. Eating clean is almost impossible in our culture and isn't going to get better.

That video is hilarious.

I wonder how many people were watching the news this morning and were like “Hey! That’s my enormous arse and jiggly arms.”

For real, though. We Americans as a whole are gross. 4/10 people can’t control themselves enough to stay merely overweight. Everything they eat has to be a taste explosion.

And we want universal health care in this country... pay for your own damned coronary bypass you fat, lazy bastard.

Advice for tha fatties: salad for breakfast. And no bleu cheese or bacon. Real salad.

Seriously, it works.

i'm calling bullshite

they use the BMI chart from the 1950's to make distinction.

For me to be my bmi in shape, i would have to take bones out of my body, and possibly a whole leg.

It's horse shite, and the more they can classify as over weight, the more they get on pills. More pills, more $$$ to medical industry.

Ever notice who sponsors the big Obesity clinics? Pharmaceutical Companies.

I find most women my age have given up and are okay with being fat because there will always be some dude that will frick them.
