Obese out numbers over weight

[GingerbeardJ]

Just seen a sad disturbing study today that now in the Great USA obese people out number the "over weight" people.

2/3 of us women and 3/4 of us men are either over weight or obese. 67.6 million Americans over the age of 25 were obese and 65.2 million were over weight.

And the govt says steroids are the devil what about McDonald's on every corner of the U.S.?

Just some numbers for everyone keep up that hard work!

Your guess is as good as mine lol! That's to funny

Now that we are a minority can we get special treatment?

[GingerbeardJ]

Minority is an under statement. I would love to see the percentage of people who are not only not over weight but are physically fit. But I guess than it would be tough to say what defines physically fit.

How is LBM figured into the equation of overweight?

^^I see where GGR is going with this, and I thought the same. Yes, there are many truly obese people in America, but the past 2 years when I took my yearly "physical" for work, I was/am considered obese...and I was under 15% body fat.

Fat is a choice. When it's not, it's entirely rare.

Has anyone watched Wall-E? That animated kids movie that came out a couple years ago. That is what society eventually will turn into.

Us government is partly to blame not fully but they do allow food companies to dump chemicals and hide sugar in literally everything also let farmers pump cattle full of estrogen and trenbolone then throw pink slime and ammonia on it before it hits the store and the list goes on and on. all in the name of making a profit this kind of stuff was once illegal but lobbyist with lots of money and connections make it happen. I honestly believe the crap that's in our food has something to do with the cancer rate in America 50% of all Americans will have some form of cancer in their lifetime and that number is only going up and we simply don't see those kind of problems in other countries. not to mention other health problems like diabetes/heart problems and extreme obesity it is honestly a food epidemic

I disagree



With nothing.

This is exactly my thought

More sedentary jobs, fast food on every corner, food that is loaded with additives that we can't even pronounce and people just plain out giving up on physical life


Even in shape is so hard to even find now - when I say in shape, I mean just normal Bf - A guy under 15% Bf and a female under 30%


And being lenient here

You must not get out much, lots of fatties up here lolololol

I did not see this movie but noticed a new trend. Related to this but slightly off topic.

Gender blending. Unisex look. Girls appearance more like men and men wearing more feminine styles, not to be confused with cross dressing. I think it initiated on a national level with men piercing ears but that is only my thoughts. I have seen more in teens/early 20s.

In one case I thought a boy but couldn't distinguish if man boobs? A bit of muffin top. Voice more neutral. Flip a coin.

2nd case a gal with short hair, very petite wearing more menswear.

3rd case. I think a women. Cropped hair, minimal if any makeup, larger hands. Wedding band but on right hand. Again extremely overweight. I had no idea.

My point, a person dressing in "unisex" styling is harder to discern sex if extremely overweight (and probably under weight). Is this overweight condition blending the lines towards gender neutrality?

I'll remember that the next time I am walking through the grocery store and looking at people from their backside.

Good news - I hardly ever get dirty looks from the wife for checking out all the girls. I thought I was getting better at hiding it but I really think it's because there is a lot less I want to check out. Need to talk to my boss about getting another job at the university. ?

I know your joking but you would be surprised how many not so smart doctors their are out their I was talking to a registered nurse. whom is working in a really nice office and making so much money my mind cant comprehend and my dad was telling her that he was on a diet. ( the same diet I lost 65 lbs on in 4 months btw) and she said quote( that it isn't ever going to work and you wont find a diet that does work the way you loose weight is to eat small meals and keep moving ). and she said it like it was medical fact lol I didn't argue with her but you all know thats just plane bs and their was a doctor standing right there and he didn't seem to disagree

[djgreen]

it took everything in me to not start explaining to her how the basil metabolic system works but im sure a professional nurse isn't going to listen to some 25 year old telling her she's dead wrong

I'm sure saying
"Listen Doc, you spent 12 years studying the body, but I spent 6 years building it."
would go over well.

I got nothing against (most) doctors, just the media whores.
Their misinformation is usually unintended if they aren't quite always on the ball.

[djgreen]

oh im sure it wouldn't go over well that's why I just kept quiet but to say you cant loose weight with diet just blew my mind

[davesah1]

Oh I missed that in your previous post, that's hilarious.
I would not have my head on straight for the rest of that day with that kind of mind-f*ck.

Dont worry, pretty soon we will change the definition. Size zero will be a size 15, obese will be when you are more than 75% body fat and of course common fat people will be called anorexic.

Well - I know people are getting uglier as I type this

But, my question still remains - who is healthier? The fat gross typical American "or" me

Being flabby & gross looking doesn't mean they are too obese. They do look like a pile of walking dog shit

But, true health wise - who's healthier? Me, pumped full of roids to look awesome & extreme.

Tough call


My heart goes out to the closest to natural athlete. IMO they are the ones out on top.

How many fat/obese old people do you know? Not many make far past 60.

I feel Ya


I guess I'm leaning more towards the usual fat & out of shape. Not the full on 320 pounds land whales.

[hawk14dl]

I'm a lightweight here, but at 6'1 190 I'm classified as overweight by the cdc.

So i think the "statistics" may not be entirely accurate.

Although, i do agree obesity is at an all time high and is a continuing problem
