Is the obesity epidemic exaggerated?
2016-04-13 4:08 pm
Right off the bat I'll say it: I think the so called obesity epidemic is being exaggerated in hopes of sin taxes and class action lawsuits against the food industry. For proof I offer the fact that while the percentage of obese Americans is supposedly exploding, the mortality rate continues to fall or hld steady, th eonly exception being among middle-aged white women whose deaths are attributed to suicide and substance abuse. Were this epidemic real, wouldn't the death rate be rising steeply as well?

EPIDEMIC is being somewhat hyperbolic, but one sees obese people WAY more now than even 30 years ago, worldwide.

It is rising. Also diabetes and even Alzheimer's. You die slowly from the diseases obesity fosters.

The death rate will rise as this generation of people gets older. People in their twenties who waddle around now will be in wheelchairs when they are 50. There will be a serious amount of diabetes, heart problems and other health issues that will cost the health care industry a fortune in caring for these people.
The obesity problem is not exaggerated at all. People are eating too much, not doing enough and getting too fat for their own good. Obesity is a self-inflicted disability.

I'm in Ma. Ma is rated pretty good for one of the states with the lower obesity numbers. Yet all I need to do is go to Walmart and take a look around at the numbers of fat slovenly people, or just pick my kid up form school to see the numbers of fat kids rolling around. It is definitely an issue and I'm not some skinny dude either,

Yes, Everything is low calorie. I need to gain weight. If I buy a meal I want all I can get. Maybe it's to sell more food, and Jack up the price.
