American adults getting fatter
Julie Steenhuysen
Reuters Life! Online Report
Obesity rates continued to climb in the past year with 23 U.S. states reporting adults in their states are fatter now than they were a year ago, two advocacy groups said on Wednesday.
Obesity rates did not decrease in a single state last year, and the groups warned that the U.S. obesity epidemic must be addressed as lawmakers reform the nation’s health system.

Fat people…
80% of the food in grocery stores isn’t really food and reinforces overeating with undernourishment. Abolish non-foods being marketed as foods. Label it devitalized junk…’cuz that is what it is. This is the industry of food’s fault.
Make pure and sell non-GMO and clean real traditional foods.
Internet search…Weston A. Price Foundation and also search for the book entitled Nourishing Traditions.
Once you have people eating foods that actually provide nutrients they won’t vainly eat so much junk trying to get nutrients which junk cannot ever provide. Thus they go on a downward spiral of diminishing returns and increasing waistlines.
More physical education in schools and recess times. Make gym memberships and exercise classes/instruction tax deductible. Stop watching television and get your ass off the couch and work up a sweat.
And realize that many people are full of pathogens and parasites that feed off the nutrients your body needs. Cleanse yourself out in a sound and safe manner so you don’t have bugs in your system competing for and taking away your nutrient supply, thus causing you to eat more to try to replenish their levels.

That’s true. Most of the “food” is on shelves and not in the fresh produce isle. The “food” is in boxes and filled with preservatives… at Wal-Mart.

Or people could stay out of Burger King, Mc Donalds, Wendys, Taco bell, Taco Johns, etc.

Wal-Mart is damn scary…even the produce looks…”tainted” in some way. Like it is cloned from the real thing. And their meat looks so strange as to guess it is grown on plastic mesh with some liquid aminos and some bacterial organisms fecal matter contributing to the matrix of protein that is then passed off as…”ground beef”.
Correct as well. These bottom of the scumbarrel restaurants that offer a whole days worth of calories in one upsized meal for three dollars, but not just these restaurants of sleeze with cheeze. But all these chains like Chilies, Fridays, Dennys, Applebees, etc. Where the eight dollar entree comes with a feedbag as the portions for one are usually for four.
Stop making it so damn easy for your fat-azz to eat. Start buying the healthful raw ingredients for savory and healthy dishes and put the time it to make it at home. Cut down on the take-out and delivery.
Exercise some common sense and some self-control.

Hi Mike, I have it tough too. Where do you live? I’m in Hollywood CA and not only do we have the $ stores, which sell dairy and fresh produce, we have Food 4 Less, albeit owned by Kroeger, but very cheap to shop. Iceberg lettuce last week was 37 cents. Not always but shopping around helps some. I bus it, so am not wasting gas in a car. Do you have a crock pot? Just throw some cheap meat and veggies in it and when you get home, dinner’s ready. Good luck to you.

go price fish—-not the tapia scum fish–the real fish that the doctors keep telling us to eat…who the f can afford the cod-mackeral and trout?…how about a $ 1.25 can of sardines?
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:05 am
Get your garden going! Buy from your local markets (while you still can) Learn to eat more raw foods and stay away from anything in boxes and cans. Sure you might actually have to COOK, OMG! What is that!? Do we know how to use anything other than a microwave?
I am learning this because I am one of the “Fatties” but I have lost a lot of weight doing these simple things. And I continue to do so, and it is GOOD!
Also, get rid of anything that says it is Sugar Free! That stuff is one of the main culprits to keeping our nation fat. It creates cravings that your body gets used to, and we just pump in more junk to stop the cravings.
You are right “K”, we got to get off our butts and get moving. We are getting ready for war. They will be able to control us so much easier when we can’t run, we can’t fight, we just want a twinkie.
If for no other reason, get ready for what lies ahead. It isn’t going to be pretty. I for one don’t want to end up in a camp because I couldn’t overcome my enemy on all levels.

After reading this article it is evident that America has a serious dietary disaster, and it should be addressed by Presidnet OBams new EPA, (eaters protection agency). Now America must repent and allow each zip code to have a diet director to decide what foods you are allowed to keep your family healthy. so get on Board with the new OBAMA SLIM DOWN AMERICA POLICY. Hard working and greener is our directive for the populus. Black to basics folks. Potatoes, Rice, Fish, Bread and Water. Maybe some beans and greens on Saturday. Please no hating on this health initiative.

“BUY HEALTHFUL RAW INGREDIENTS? HUH? from where? with what? working 3 jobs…no cash to barely pay rent and utilities? are you on drugs?”
Drink water and nothing but water, it is the only beverage that the earth provides.
Try brown rice and millet by the sack for grains and carbs. Supercheap.
Dried beans by the sack. Supercheap
Small amounts of good animal food protein. Eggs, Chicken, lamb, beef and keep portions to 4 ounces. As that is all the stomach can efficiently digest anyway. 4 ounce servings are all you need and quite small.
Salads and fruits. Don’t buy fruit juice but eat the fruit.
Some nuts and seeds.
It really isn’t that difficult. You have been removed from having to do so, thus you believe it impossible.
As far as three jobs, how well will you be at them eating devitalized foods for a couple years?

I would like to see the correlation between the “fat” states and the deemed “welfare” states.
I would bet they would be a mirror image. The government pays to let people sit on their butts and get fat, and then they will spend billions to help get these people fit. Cause the problem and bring the solution. Yep.

He mentioned it on the radio show today, about the elites wanting to use food as a weapon. It was very brief, but I’ve heard Alex make the same assumption… that people on vegetarian diets are weak and controlled, and won’t fight back because they hug trees and are compassionate.”

Fruitcake, you are obviously a vegetarian and stupid tree hugger. Vegetarians, the strict ones also known as vegans, suffer from protien deficiency which triggers aggression, anger and intolerance for other viewpoints. Google it. Your nasty and ill manner post shows this. Mankind lived on meat and fat and a little fruit and nuts for millions of years. Agriculture is only 10,000 yrs old. How did we survive so long??????

Meats contain all the nutrients we need. However, evolution works just to the point of procreation. Anything that helps an organism short-term, until the point it can reproduce, yet have long-term health ailments, will surely stick around. Our ability to digest meats is a perfect example. The largest epidemiological health study ever conducted concluded that all meats are associated with higher incidences of cancer, diabetes, and literally dozens of diseases characterized as being long-term, occurring later in life.
Just because a diet may not have been viable earilier in our species’ history, it doesn’t mean that, when supplemented with vitamins, can result in a far healthier and higher-functioning animal.
The China Study has yet to be refuted by any reputable sources. Avoiding meat and dairy as much as possible, while eating primarily plant-based foods and whole grains is directly associated with increases in ALL areas of health.
Protein deficiency is a myth long ago debunked. However vegans do require B12 from supplements. Humans used to get all they need from the soil that was present on all fruits and vegetables, as B12 is produced by bacteria in the soil. Omega 3 fatty acids are present in various vegetables. Vitamin D is rare vitamin, and most people who don’t get enough sun should take supplements anyway.
Some things you have to try yourself just to see the difference. Personally, my head cleared up BIGTIME! Energy increased, sickness went from rare to never, my fundamental life force feels richer, I feel stronger, more alive, more capable. I was eating a rather healthy non-vegan diet beforehand, so the health effects surprised me.

Poisons in food date back significantly to post-World War II. It was done to convert from a wartime economy into a peacetime economy. So all the factories had to convert to domestic peacetime use, hence gunpowder nitrates in fertilizer on crops instead of manure. You couldn’t just have all that production stop and stall the economy.
It was then marketed as being good that chem-tech was in your food.
PCBs made it into the food supply by the recycling of electrical transformer oil used as lube for food production machines. And you can’t wash or rinse that stuff off equipment.
The list is endless of how the resultant fifties “chemical technology” expanded and everything added was now considered “modern and high-tech”. Remember…Tang. The astronauts drank it in space, so it must be good for you. The post-industrial corporate machine’s contribution to your breakfast table. See if you can find out where margarine comes from and how it is made. And this stuff was, and is, marketed as being better than butter. Man what a mindfuck.
Then consider the chemicals developed during Vietnam. War creates death far beyond the battlefield.
The eighties saw a jump in additions to foods particularly with the nutra-sweet and artificial ingredients. The entire pre-packaged food market expanded immensely during this time as did the mega-grocery store.
Have you seen the cookie aisle lately, it is as long as a city block in the store? Now you have five different kinds of Oreos…like ones that are chocolate covered with extra cream inside, wedged between two fudge brownies, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and filled with raspberry jelly and gummy bears. You get my drift.
Just don’t eat it…simple.
Real food is quite distinguishable…even monkeys know what it is.

I am getting fatter because I can’t find a job and I know that organic food and some superfoods can cut my weight, but I can’t justify spending the extra scratch during the time I am depending on others to carry my water.

Misunderstood, I’m very sorry you are having so many problems. However, you do not need organic food to live well, most stores carry fresh fruits and vegetables and cheap cuts of meat. Eggs are a good value also. Good luck to you and your job search. Jean

plus I think there might be another reason. impending doom. the body stores fat during periods in which there is impending doom as a survival method.
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I think its a matter of burning more calories than you consume.
Organic food does not cut your weight anymore than non-organic food.
Me thinks you have a lot of excuses for yourself and you are so filled up on them that is what is making you fat.

We need to educate people that eating healthy foods are more filling. Although you may have to spend a little bit more for that bag of grapes than the bag of chips, you won’t have to eat as much to feel satisfied and full. Even picking wheat bread over white bread at Wal-mart is a good start. Obama wants the health care plan to cover people who become unhealthy due to their weight. http://www.newsy.com/videos/the_obesity_epidemic Sorry if this is insensitive, but I don’t want my tax money to go to someone who lived a life of gluttony.
