http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/13/americas-fattest-cities-2_n_3071707.html By the turn of the century, Americans will be unable to move. Which most other countries consider not to be a bad thing. But what do Americans think about the poundages they are packing on? Will that inhibit procreation? After all, you don't want to have to fight your way through mountains of fat simply to breed. Will there be a vegan revolution? New architectural concepts that accommodate fatter people? A war on fatness similar to the war on terrorism, or drugs or freedom of information? I expect an early announcement from the White House.
Did you know it was McDonalds and Taco Bell who exploited the psychology that made Americans fat? Had as much to do with your minds as your bellies.
Too bad big govt didn't use the billions Michelle threw away bullying fat kids to produce PSAs encouraging Americans to lose weight. Personally, I think Americans have a right to weigh whatever they want. All this emphasis on healthy weight could morph into a desire for a blonde haired, blue eyed 'perfect' population. Libs do love those slippery slopes.
The Op starts threads that are anti American, it is his normal stuff. No value, just empty calories.....
Lots of skinny people die of diabetes and heart disease. Just like lots of foreigners die from bad dental hygiene. One things for sure... we'll never eradicate death.
Southern cooking is very fattening, they deep fry everything and never eat a vegetable.. No wonder the fattest city in America is in the south.
My mom was the best Southern cook ever and she lived to be 89... healthy as a horse until the month she died. So much for stereotypes.
Of course as Americans get fatter and fatter and fatter, the strain on America's health system explodes proportionately. Already by far the most expensive system on the planet, your social habits (over-eating, ageing population, starting wars that leave a legacy of wounded millions) are adding exponentially to its costs. Most countries use health dollars to run educational campaigns to try to reduce the incidence of health-adverse social habits - smoking, bad driving, domestic violence, AIDS, and grotesquely-unhealthy eating. Why? Because they contribute to personal freedom from disease and saves health providers the escalating costs of treating the victims - if you can call them victims.
You mean for her silly program in total? No telling. Over $3 BILLION for the school lunch overhaul. And have you heard? Obesity in children has steadily risen the whole time Michelle's been throwing money at the problem. Not even HuffPo can cover for her failed program. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/08/childhood-obesity-rates-increased_n_5111922.html
Well, at least it's bottled. Come to think of it, when did you last have an original thought to contribute?
It seems we can expect fewer and fewer Americans as the decades go by. What chance they will eat themselves into oblivion? They already seem to be heading for third-world life spans.
Of course I do. But I am a little dubious about having a second opinion from a body part that rarely gets washed.
You have the wit of a dead squirrel and the originality of soap. Please go and read a few of the icons of world literature who expounded wittiness at its best. Try Oscar Wilde, HL Menken, Spike Milligan, Ambrose Pierce or Stephen Fry or the Marx brothers. When you have thus saturated yourself with wittiness, go get yourself an education in something. Preferably something that allows you to have a useful opinion on PF. I hope you are encouraged by my solicitousness.
