Watchman is right. It's mostly lifestyle and that people can afford to eat more.
Disease? Only if things like this are considered pathogens:

:tongue: Dunno about pathogenic, but it certainly sounds like some sort of crime. My arteries are deeply offended by the mere description.
Look at the healthy minister that was moaning about other peoples obesity isues this week:dizzy2: http://www.progressivedemocrats.ie/u...y_AAA_0030.jpg
LOL. It seems that people are truly unscrupulous when it comes to hypocresy.Quote:

Thus sometimes I make stupid mistakes like that.
I saw a little of that program. Well, they also have rights! Or dont you agree?
No I don't compa. I think that specific cases have other causes, meta-causes, i.e. obesity is not a disease but might be caused by other diseases. Of course there's posts here from authorities of this here Backroom, such as Watchman or Lemur who always force me to revise my posts and research what they're saying :laugh4: . But in general my opinion has not been changed.Quote:

Yes, traffic problems. Anyway, this gov is a mess! If you are going to vote, dont vote Kristina! Dont do it! Dont vote the Kaos!Quote:

I always wondered what it would be like to not to be able to see little devdav when i went to go potty. I guess, as a future American fat ass, I'll find out in a few years!!!:2thumbsup:
Calling obesity a disease is like giving liposuction to anorexis as a cure.
I just happened to catch the headlines on Sky News here in Britain, and guess what - now they're blaming obesity on the environment. Load of codswollop.
Key is that obesity is different from simply being a little chubby. Some people will always remain the latter, and there isn't really any harm in it. The former however is a luxury problem for the larger part; sure, I can buy that some people are more predisposed to gaining a lot of weight, but I also know people who work hard to keep that weight down. What's the point in asking government to keep track of what people consume? It's a private responsibility; there are enough complaints about bureaucracy as it is, people should be perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. Unfortunately it would appear that too many aren't and rely on/blame others such as the government when the consequences become clearer.
Last few times I've been to the UK I've been amazed at how fat people are getting. I don't remember it being like that years ago, and I certainly don't see that as much in Holland (though it's getting more noticeable).
Yeah, but, when you are obess, you cant control the amount of food you eat.Quote:
It's a private responsibility
Such a large amount of people? Besides, it's not even just a matter of eating less as much as actually doing some kind of exercise.
If it's a simple failure of self-control, it's a simple failure of self-control. Don't eat way more than you use and need, as it were. Stuffing yourself with energy without expending much of it just leads to the excess being stored for future, the primary medium for which is fat tissue.
That said, it is true that junk food tends to be kinda insidious. It's heavy on calories and carbohyrates and sugars and such on the average, and usually quite short of a variety of other nutritional elements the body requires. If the body can't get those, it'll keep telling the brain it's hungry and should eat more... and more junk food obviously doesn't fix the matter at all.
And I'd be surprised if this was entirely coincidential.
I agree. Junkfood is an easy option, and in my opinion a thoroughly lazy one. Not only is it not nutricious, but also more expensive than actually cooking and it doesn't save that much time if one plans a little. Perhaps it's because of rowing I need to keep an eye on what I consume relative to what I do in a day, but buying fresh ingredients and cooking with them is far healthier and quite a bit cheaper than buying premade stuff.
What I've really noticed in England in supermarkets is the sheer amount and variety of microwave meals available compared to Holland, where it's mostly just applicable to pizzas and stuff. I'll admit they look quite appealing, but it's quite shocking seeing how many shopping carts are filled with nothing but the stuff. There's a cause for obesity right there, and it's pure laziness.
Maradona have obesity by drugs.Quote:
