I'm guessing that in a few years the obese and overweight people will be the evil ones in society, as the smokers are right now, once there have been enough smokers quitting, they'll have to raise the taxes on something else.
I just hope that all the smokers who quit can keep a handle on weight gain
I'm still struggling with it, and winter makes it worse so lets hope no more pounds for me this year, I've taken my share
I think that it is already happening. My neighbor's son is overweight. Now I think that is wrong and the boy, for his health, needs to loose weight. But what surprises me is that there are people who will approach a 11 year old boy to tell him that he needs to loose weight. We are talking about adults. When has expressing your disapproval at someone else's stupidity become acceptable.
For the record, I have no idea why the child is overweight. He plays outside with my daughters and they eat similar food. My girls are underweight and he is overweight.
His entire family is overweight and I don't ever see them overeating.
I believe that some folks are predispositioned to have a weight problem. If you ever notice, folks who generally are born and raised up north tend to be heavier than their southern folk. Honestly the only reason I can think of is the differences in climate. Also, different folks have a different metabolic rate... Now I know I am over weight and could loose some, but at 225 the doc wants me down to about 145-155 range. I eat healthy generally, and exercise so
I know this will benefit many folks health wise, but
what will they outlaw next? Red Meat? Trans Fats? (oops they did in some places)
