Obesity Epidemic: US Temporal Trends

Obesity Epidemic: US Temporal Trends

Although well known to most obesity researchers and epidemiologist, the
public is generally not aware of the true magnitude of the obesity
epidemic. At the link below is a classic report by the CDC of the
emergence of the obesity epidemic in the United States from the early
1980's to 2004.

Well if they bothered calculating obesity correctly maybe people would
listen.

Since BMI correlates fairly well to persons of "average" muscle mass
these charts are disturbingly on target. (Which makes me wonder why
you don't know that since you're a regular here on
'OffTopic.Something.Else')

I say shoot all the fatties and let God sort'em out. I'm sick of
subsidizing Mr. & Mrs. Porkchop supersizing their already biggie fries
because they're too fucking lazy to cook healthy.

I lived with a couple of chunky monkeys like that for a while. The
whole "I'm too tired/too beat/too fucking lazy to eat healthy mindset
was disturbing and from what I've experienced in American culture,
pervasive.

We should give serious consideration to a national health insurance
card that must be swiped in order to purchase food. It will track your
fast food intake, etc., per the posted nutritional information. You
can opt out by not carrying insurance and by not being eligable for any
kind of gov't assistance including emergency room care, i.e., a DNR
card, all yours, courtesy of your own gluttony. Die fat, stupid and
happy IOW.

Rationing food might not acheive much. Especially amongst those who
actually do physical labour.
Back a bit coal miners and the like ate a good deal and were not fat in
any way.

Yes. Where I work a crew comes in and they eat 3-4 times a day, lots
of calorie rich junk food. But still, the gas station type foods, the
burgers, burritos, sandwiches.. they have protein and are legitimate
sustenance. They aren't fat, probably decently muscular.

It's the sedentary fat fucks without a clue who don't want even want
to try. Obese people who got that way without a good excuse, smokers,
major alcoholics, etc. should pay for more than their own fair share,
because they are a disproportionate burden on our health "care".

I'll be glad to see justice done. We can have programs to educate
them. People on meds that facilitate adiposity and interfere with
weight loss is something different, but they should still be given the
information and maybe encouraged to join support groups. If only we
had those RFIDs implanted early and tracked their spending habits from
the beginning.. then we could really nail them.

Manual labor is a muthafucka....
If you simply walked 10 hours a day, doing whatever, you'd burn 3,000
calories more than your office-working counterpart.
Figger that a lot of manual labor is likely considerably more than that of
walking (about 4-5 cals/min, std. 70 kg male), and the caloric expenditure
is extraordinary.
Consider that a 1/2 hour jog, about 3 miles, is about 300-350 cals.
Coal miners--proly burn 5,000 cals!
Charles Bronson was a coal miner. Ergo, that bod.
