Global report: Obesity bigger health crisis than hunger

A new analysis of global health data shows that the years of life lost from obesity outnumber those lost by hunger.

i suppose thats a good thing, isnt it? at least most people are being well provided for, rather than everyone dying because there isnt enough food to go around. at least this way we have an opportunity to balance things out, whereas if most people were dying from starvation it would mean there isnt enough food production to support the population.

I dont know which is worse, your body shutting down because you havent eaten in a few days, or your body shutting down because you eat a few days worth of food in one sitting.

Its not being well provided for though. It is mass consumption of foods that are making people fat and slowly killing them.

In north America the majority of obesity is lack of education, laziness, people who cant afford nutritious food. It is not because these people are well provided for eating the right food.

I really do believe this. However you can eat healthy on the cheap with a little know how.

the fat person. I think we should give them an ultimatum...

1. Obese people are given a year to return to a healthy weight.
2. After a year if you have not you are removed.
3. Take the food they would have consumed.
4. Give it to the people who are dying from hunger.
5. ???
6. Profit.

Obesity is our solution to overpopulation. It's this millenium's evolutionary wild card.

Apparently were supposed to see [hamnuts] for a clarification. However, I'll leave the interpretation up for debate.

Who cares? If someone wants to destroy their body by eating unhealthy then let them. I'm not embarrassed by the choices of others, I don't agree with their choices but I respect them for making their own decisions.

This is just fucking stupid, nobody is born naturally obese therefore. because being obese is a choice and not a naturally occurring condition a, "fat people rights group," is completely irrational and unnecessary. If you want to be fat be fat but don't expect any special treatment for it.

True, but no one is naturally 400lbs overweight. Some people have, "fat," genes but nobody has, "morbidly obese," genes.

The world is organized so that people get fat. The more people eat, the more money other people make.


Our tvs arent filled with ads about healthy food of educational shows about how to eat healthy.
Public schools do not teach any type of "In Depth" nutritional education.
School Lunches should force kids to eat healthy
In order to make more profit companies take shortcuts which can lead to the denutrinionation (i made that up) of the foods we might think are good for us

HERE IS A PERFECT VIDEO IDK WHY THIS HASNT BEEN POSTED YET.

Or the answer to overpopulation is consciously limiting how many people we produce over a long period of time.

So uhhh. For beauty pageants instead of saying "I'm going to feed the hungry!" are they now going to say "I'm going to make the obese kids eat less cake!"?
