I don't know, people in Uganda are on a diet and walk everywhere. They don't look very healthy.

we are a little off topic are we not? and making fun of the poor souls of the world is not funny in my opinion

what I said was Having a realistic healthy diet and doing some exersize

[Glacier]

Looks can be deceiving. As long as the Ugandan is getting property nutrition, and he's not overly stressed or suffering from a disease, he will be healthy. Either way, it doesn't matter how healthy you are, you will sag as you get older. That' just part of life.

Blame food co.'s = check
Blame willpower = check
hate on fatties = check
hate on athletic types = check
blame intelligence = check
question methodologies = check
anecdotes as science = check

Have we forgotten anything in this thread? I think we have all the bases covered, but I'm not sure...

On TV, the other day, this guru, said people should be not concentrating on Fat content in food, but rather Sugar. I believe Sugar is at the for front for this obesity.

Pop, should get the grief, just like cigarettes in my opinion.

people who are afraid of heavy cream

but not afraid of white flour/white sugar - are nuts.

Cream can be a matter of taste - not anything to do with fear.

Lets see increase consumption of process foods & fast food with a decrease of outside activities = most likely reason for obesity rate to increase.

Answer decrease the crappy food and increase outdoor activities = reversal of obesity rates

just that simple

But why has the obesity rate tripled in the last thirty years?

Either people are doing less exercise than before and are more lazy, or the food is more crap.

I think the food is more crap. People are probably doing more exercise now than before.

[samsquench07]

I think it would have something to do with the food. People are probably more aware of exercise, so you think generally more people would get out more and exercise as opposed to 30 years ago.

True. Not to mention that the half and half stuff takes milk, and who in their right mind would put that watered down crap in their coffee!
