Quoted:
I believe it, with the sheer number of obese people (with a gland problem!) waddling around this country. How is it that America, the richest country in the world, has the least appetite for controlled discipline in our dietary habits? Obesity seems extremely prevalent among the gun community and the car community. I've been watching some of the shows on HDTV (e.g. Appraise My Car). Most, if not all, the guys who bring their fancy cars for appraisal are porkers (and that is putting it mildly). Where did our discipline go? |

Guys, it's simple. Start teaching your kids healthy eating and within a few generations you will cease to be an obese nation. Just stop doing this shit http://thefoodfarce.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fat-american.jpg European growth helps McDonald's February results A campaign in France promoting premium beef and a U.K. sales push for the quarter-pound Big Tasty burger helped push the figure up 5.1 percent in Europe. Europe is McDonald's largest region, accounting for about 40 percent of its business. Enjoy your Big Tasty, Nigel.

Quoted:
Leftist Propaganda to promote Universal Health by Government in the USA.. 
if smoking, alcohol consumption, eating high fat diets and bad dental care relate to bad overall health.then it should be true in GB as in the USA considering the large population ot Indians and Pakistanies in GB as well, with a higher than average rate of heart attacks according to another study, it also says BS.. not buying it. Progressive Propaganda This. Of course, killing off millions of men in two world wars probably helped remove a bunch of (what would be) aging gentlemen right now..... |

America has 40 MILLION people with no health insurance. EVERYONE in England has health insurance. So, it's pretty damn OBVIOUS just WHY the people in England are healthier. Also, more than 20% of children in the USA now live below the poverty line....and the percentage is increasing, NOT decreasing, like the LIARS that keep saying the economy is getting 'better'. Many of them live with working parents that earn enough so they DON'T qualify for Medicaid, food stamps, or other .gov help. Go back to DU !!! |

A recent New York Times article quoted a source that said 40% of all medical tourists are traveling for dental care. When the total number of all medical procedures is considered, that percent becomes even more impressive. The total number of dental travelers is difficult to pinpoint but estimates range from approximately 200,00 to 750,000 annually. Most reports (including those of the ADA) project that number to be on the rise. The think tank Deloitte Center for Health Solutions projects a 35% annual growth rate despite, or perhaps because of, the current economy.

Colorado is actually the fittest state of all with just barely less than 20% people obese so its not like my state could not use improvement either. Now the South on the other hand is over 30% in some areas.  Obesity is a problem we have to address in this country sooner or later as much as we hate to admit it.

What I care about is tyrannical government tell us how to live and deciding who lives and who dies without giving us any choice. Well I do. I think it's not shocking at all that you see red states with the largest obesity problems and I am all for doing whatever it takes to get you people living healthier. Mind your fucking business bootlicker. No! It's you people living unhealthy that is costing me money, I am tired of paying higher healthcare premiums cause the fatties want to eat there way into diabetes. So either you start living healthy and take a page out of the British's book or we will have to do something a little more pro active about it and yes it may involve the .gov And who are you calling "you people"? WHO ARE YOU CALLING YOU PEOPLE?! Well let's take a look... From the article.. _Three additional states now have adult obesity rates above 30 percent, including Alabama, 31.2 percent; West Virginia, 31.1 percent; and Tennessee, 30.2 percent. My shocked face. Oh look its the "Big City" Folk leading by example again :_The South is the fattest region. The Northeast and West are slightly slimmer than the rest of the country. Yup when I say "you people" I mean Southerners. So when you say "you people" you are are actually being racist... Imagine that I've been to the South obesity does not seem to discriminate based on race from what I saw there. Colorado is actually the fittest state of all with just barely less than 20% people obese so its not like my state could not use improvement either. Now the South on the other hand is over 30% in some areas. Obesity is a problem we have to address in this country sooner or later as much as we hate to admit it. http://www.eurweb.com/?p=34544 http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/125686/africanamericans_fatter_less_fit_than_caucasians/ African Americans absolutely lead the nation in obesity, and since they are disproportionately representated in the south, that is going to skew our numbers higher. The obesity rate is also higher among the poor. Amongst middle class whites the rate of obesity in the South is no higher than in California or Colorado. However, once you factor in African Americans and poor, both of which we have more of, it skews the numbers in favor of the West.... ...So in effect, your attitude is really you being both racist and classist |

JFK had fitness day back when he was pres. While I'm at it, I have a strong suspicion that you're not all that healthy, or fit. BMI means jack. Also sounds like Subnet was spot on (as usual). Most of the people who champion bull shit like this are the ones who have no self control, just like anti-gun folks who think that since they can't trust themselves with a gun that no one else is capable of it either. |

This place with the tyrannical govt that decides how you live or die Well, Great Britain for one, USA is set to be another. You're well out of date with that. Now this is tranny............. 'A British teenager who sent an e-mail to the White House calling President Obama a "pr*ck" was banned from the U.S. for life, The Sun reported Monday. The FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, that his drunken insult was "unacceptable." Angel claims he fired off a single e-mail criticizing the U.S. government after seeing a television program about the 9/11 attacks. He said, "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a pr*ck. It was silly –– the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few." Angel, of Bedford, in central England, said it was "a bit extreme" for the FBI to act. "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy," he said. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/09/13/british-teen-banned-life-sending-obscene-e-mail-obama/#ixzz1G79FrWxE' |

Alright, fair enough. What I take from this is that you slimmed down and quit smoking on your own, without government intervention. You're not a pillar of health and vitality, but you're not a fat ass (anymore) either. Nifty. Now... Supposing for the sake of argument that you are given carte blanche to wield the power of government to fix our nation's obesity problem, what would you do? What would it look like? I'm just curious. |

Quoted: Look at old photos from the South most of the African Americans were by no means fat. Look at footage or photos of American public in general in the 1940's and 50's then compare it to now. The obesity problem crosses all racial and economic lines and it's gotten out of hand. One way to control it would be to get the price of food so damn high by limiting supply or you can have the .gov intervene in more healthy pro-active ways where they encourage children at a young age to exercise.Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Why don't you look at the demographics of our area? Certain "groups" tend to be fatter than whites, and we have much higher demographics than the West and NW...Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: You are a fucking piece of work.

I've got a good memory. I'm also pretty good at remembering stupid shit comments that people make over time.
I remember a certain poster in this thread saying that you weren't considered to be cool, or a serious intellectual if you didn't smoke. Such comments didn't come from any Southerner, but I do remember it being said by come "big city thinker" |

The average "value meal" at McDonalds costs what? 4.5 English pounds? That works out to about $7.25 US.
Here you can get the same McMeal for less than half. A pack of cigarettes? Same deal. 5 UK pounds, or about 8 US dollars. Cigarettes are about 1/2 the cost in the US. Beer is roughly comparable IIRC. Just some numbers for rumination. |
