what do you think about growing obesity rates?

Its the lifetyle and the over eating on fast foods and eating less healthier foods that are good to our bodies.

I think we are definitally dependent on fast food and wawa, etc. Most people now adays, dont even know how to cook healthy food, and if they do..the family either doesnt want it or they just dont have time. Even the foods you can buy in the grocery store like potatoe flakes to make mashed potatoes, or canned veggies, or stuffing in the box, is all REALLY fattning. I know I Have been gaining weight like crazy, and I even stopped eating fast food...just eating stuff from the store, and it hasnt changed.

I think alot of it had to do with our fast paced lifestyles and convenience. We don't eat alot of junk in our house, but I know that when the schedules are hectic I'm the first one to hit the fast food drive thru, and I can tell you I don't order a salad. however for my kids I get "apple dippers" instead of fries, and for my youngest milk instead of a soda. It says alot when hospitals have to "retool" to accomodate obese people. It's definately NOT natural, this is why organic foods is the fastest growing section of the grocery store.

Well, as a person that ate a bag of chips for dinner.... Granted they were calorie light chips 715 for the bag, but I got 71% of my daily requirement of sodium, more than my fat requirement because of the sandwich I had for breakfast. Ahhh well, they tasted good & I could've eaten those regular potato chips I had sitting next to them! (I'm saving them to eat with my guacomole.)

Yes its a danger and its because of the kind of food that we take everyday. Its a matter of changing our lifestyle and eating nmore organic and fibe rich foods.

I think that we are way too dependant on junk food and fast food. Back in the days where everyone cooked their own food and didn't eat fast food all of the time we weren't so heavy. If we eat fast food at my house I try to do it during the day on a nice day that way we can walk there and eat and then walk back home. When I was growing up and my mom would take us out for dinner in the summer we would walk the mile to Runza or the restruant by it and then eat and then walk the mile home. So we weren't eating the healthiest food but we were at least burning some of it off.

Wheal if every body would eat a lil less junk food and fast food there wouldnt be such a big problem i am saying this because some people are born overweight it is a genetic disorder i think biologi classifies 3 body types to slim, normal, and to overweight but being overweight i sujest that everybody should try to lose weight but you need determination to do that (like when you need to stop smoking) there are no shortcuts i personally never heard of anybody geting sllmmer from aerobics if you wanna losse some weight you gotta give it effort not do thre situps and eat thre pizzas after that
