Obese Americans now outnumber those who are merely overweight, study says

SMH Eyer. Is that the best you can think of?

Return to your Bible study and this time, listen to what's being discussed, and not what you "think" you hear.

lol…
you posted only occasionally here but your comments made me laugh.
PS - good to see men arguing passionately about weight, for a change

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

That's shocking when you think of it on a grand scale.

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!

That seems a little fat to me.

Maybe doctors are becoming more honest?

My body fat was less than 4%, I couldn't float well in a pool! I was a college soccer player! I was mostly muscle!

Yeah, they were being dishonest with me :rolleyes:

Wow, are you this much of an asshole in real life or you like trying to aggravate online? Either way, you're just a sad person. I feel sorry for you now.

I'm not sad, infact I'm quite content at the moment.

Don't be upset because you were the 'big boned'. I just ran the numbers you provided and it says you're overweight.

...and don't hate on me, hate on science.

Science? Science that made me an athlete with muscles? Science that made me an association football fullback with an American football fullback physique? Yeah, I was tubby :rolleyes:

Sad person you are, trying to make others feel as bad as you do.

There is a distinct difference between someone such as yourself who had/has mass because of the sport they played in compared to someone who literally sits on their fat ass all day while having the same caloric intake as you did.

These are the same people who would rather wait up to a minute for an elevator to arrive rather than walk up one flight of stairs, who think drinking a 2 liter bottle of diet soda every day will somehow make them lose weight, and will never eat a vegetable unless it's been deep fried.

Don't blame science for you being overweight.

Again, I don't feel bad about letting overweight people in denial know that they are in fact borderline obese. It's my way of showing that I care.

Don't give up on the weight loss regiment.

You sure sound like you're speaking out of your ass, since you haven't a clue as to athletics and sports.
 
US Government playing favorites in agriculture affects what we eat. NY Times April 27, 2007 "You Are What You Grow."

Canada with 4 out of 10 obese citizens would be just as unhealthy if they had as "good" a SNAP program, school lunch program and farm bill as the US. The US couldn't have done any better if they were trying to increase obesity rates.

People worry about all the wrong things. GMOs only became a hot button issue when they started splicing fish genes into rice to get more Omega3s. All our crops are hybridized and have been since before gene-splicing technology was available. crossbreeding for production not nutrition has made very little of our food fit for human consumption. The above GMO rice is probably much better for you than regular old "non GMO" (laugh) Texas long-grain rice.

Technically, ALL fruits and vegetables are GMOs LOL. The factory farm manufactured ones are but one cause for the obesity problem here in America. The bad food is cheap and tastes, the good is expensive.

Yes that's why I put it in quotes. As I said we've been cross breeding and hybridizing and modifying the genetics of plants since humans first figured out how to cross breed. It's really only since about the 19 fifties though that the nutritional value of a lot of crops started to drop as they became more sophisticated about monitoring crop yields and figuring out which strains did the best..

My dad grew up on a farm, two of his sisters owned them, one still does. Every year, the Cornell Cooperative Extension would come in and show everyone what new seeds they were introducing.

Most of them were GMOs, some weren't. Funny though, the non-GMO plants yielded better crops.

Natural biodiversity exists in nature for a reason.. I'm not opposed to any form of farming benefits the farmer. If what he grows looks good and taste good people will buy it. The fee ends up with some sort of problem like the light that is specific to the strains he's been growing you can always switch trains or switch crops or let the field lay fallow.

Government subsidies are dumb though and paying people not to farm is dumb as well the object of course is to prop up prices and benefit everyone but in the long run it hurts everybody and it is not a sustainable economic model.

My aunts, now my cousins, receive old fashioned subsidies: they sell extra grain and hay to other farmers in the valley, they sell fruits and vegetables at huge farmers' market.
 
Americans have a food supply that is unequaled in the history of the world, of course we're fat. Part due to the quality of the food and part due to having so much of it. Add to that an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and you get lazy, fat Americans.
