Obesity is an Epidemic. Convince Me Otherwise
Posted on 8/28/19 at 1:31 pm
Posted on 8/28/19 at 1:31 pm
Just returned to the South after living in and around Europe for several years. The amount of people who are not fat-but morbidly obese-seems to be even larger than when I left a decade ago.
Most of them seem to be female minorities, but I am also appalled at the Baws who have let their women get out of hand to the point I feel embarrassed for them.
I assess it is the diet; Europeans eat almost exclusively fresh food. It is common for them to visit their local farmer’s market every Saturday and get food they will prepare for the week. Unless you live in an upscale neighborhood (like me) then you likely don’t have that option here in America.
Not saying that’s an excuse, it just means most people have to take an extra step to get healthy food. Because most of these people are fat, they are lazy, so they don’t, and the cycle repeats itself. But I’m all about self-responsibility, so I expect people to do whatever they have to to take care of their families and increase their station in life.
I have an apple for breakfast and cheese and crackers for lunch. I usually have a large dinner with my wife every evening. I also run 15-20 miles a week.
When I’m out of the office during the lunch hours, I see people packed into places like Popeyes and Burger King, just waiting to eat it up.
I honestly pity these people; what a miserable existence to be unhealthy to the point you couldn’t run a quarter mile if your life depended on it.
How many of you baws are with women with a BMI over 25%?

BMI is not a percentage.

It ain't just the south, but you're spot on.

Why? This board overwhelmingly agrees with you.

Walmart corporate headquarters can probably confirm your theory through data

I meant body fat.
Sorry, was typing this in the Arby’s drive thru line.

"Convince me otherwise" is a message board epidemic.

It’s not just the south of course but as a region, the south is certainly the fattest

We are the only country in the world that will go apeshit over a fried chicken sandwich at a shitty fast food place.

It absolutely is. Especially in children.
I joined this FB group out of curiosity not long ago that a mom created to help her daughter lose weight, people were encouraged to share healthy recipes and such for kids. I’m always on the look out for healthy snacks and recipes for my kid so I said why not. Holy shite, the things I saw in there. It was a gathering of parents posting their severely overweight kids looking for advice on how to lose. I was appalled at how uninformed people are regarding just basic food knowledge. I left the group after a few days.

Are we supposed to sit her and do nothing while you impose your white standards on minorities? Maybe you picked up too much racism over in Europe.

have you ever been to Europe? It’s awesome. I’ve picked up on the hate towards Europe since I returned here, and it’s a shame. Trust me, there are definitely more dregs of society walking around your Deep South town than in Europe, I can promise you.
