Americans have reached a weighty milestone: Adults who are obese now outnumber those who are merely overweight, according to a new report in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

A tally by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis estimated that 67.6 million Americans over the age of 25 were obese as of 2012, and an additional 65.2 million were overweight. Their count was based on data collected between 2007 and 2012 as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, an ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

lmao, Skiddles,
first the gun boner thing, now this
your posts are so funny!
 
135 million Americans are either overweight or obese? That is over 1/3 of the entire population. That just seems wrong on the face of it.

If you're in a room with 2 other Americans, and there is a thin person there, chances are you are obese.
 
I saw this same story within the last day or so but I can't remember where.

It's not surprising. Every time I look around all I see are herds of the obese waddling around.

When stores are selling shirts almost wide enough to fit on a twin-sized bed, you know things are bad.
 
Due to its insane lobbying skills, the sugar industry has managed to get the food industry at large to put huge amounts of sugar into most things you can buy at the grocery store, farmer's markets aren't a regularly scheduled or even affordable alternative in America, reliably healthy foods are pretty much unaffordable for the ever-growing number of financially insecure Americans, and the sugar industry has also convinced the country eating fat--which, if sourced from naturally occurring sources of fat, is actually good for you in most cases--is what makes you fat.

I'm surprised the number is that low, frankly.

Okay, maybe I'm weird but people that talk like this turn me on.

But by all means, let's continue to compare our healthcare system with other, healthier nations and then act surprised when their models aren't befitting our waistlines.

Lol.

Taking an average height male/female; accepting BMI over obesity as being 30 pounds over target multiplied by 67million = roughly 1 million US tons of fat. That outweighs 8 Nimitz class aircraft carriers... give or take

You're citing anecdotes from promotional materials for the content as a knockdown argument that a song that extolls the virtues of sugar to parents and was and is heavily marketed by one of the largest entertainment conglomerates on the planet might have been the child of direct financial motivation? Really?

No, I'm pointing out that the song's composition is solely the work of a guy supporting his family.

I suppose you think JJ Cale and Eric Clapton receive benefits from Colombian drug lords.
 


Fifty years ago, a great many U.S. citizens were engaged in manufacturing or industry— work that by its nature involved exercise.


Today, the only things the U.S. makes is noise, paper-shuffling, class action lawsuits, and home-delivered pizza.


Thanks to widespread economic illiteracy, demagogues and the gullible naïfs who listen to them, it's much simpler and cheaper to eliminate labor through automation or simply ship real work overseas.


The exportation of work will continue until the music stops— and it will.


TANSTAAFL


The fact that you're a fat slob is nobody's fault but your own. It's not the result of a conspiracy to force food down your gullet.

Yep....
 
Take this study with a grain of salt: The numbers by which overweight and obesity are measured have changed over the years. Putting it in perspective, at my best playing weight, I was 5' 9" and 184 lbs. Back in 1984, doctors called me 'underweight,' today, that's overweight!
