If you’re going to blame us for Clinton then you are to blame for Obama. You really believe the nations problems are because baby boomers ate to much.
Once again my generation are the only ones who were more than 50% for Romney!!!
Not sure who the “we” is that need to have majorities, but if it involves gop, forget it. They had the white, bith houses of congress and the supreme court and all that got us was medicare part D, the biggest government expansion into health care (at that time) since LBJ. They also did everything they could to stop drug reimportation. You don’t need majorities in that fever swamp...you need a tactical nuke or a sizeable meteor to hit during the state of the union. When the whole system is currupt, changing the people just gets you more corrupted people.
So the food channels are not “food porn”??
It is disturbing to compare a grade school photo from the 1950’s to today’s.
No Tax-chick, the purpose of posting the article was some good news, right there in the first sentence!
"After three decades of increases, adult obesity rates remained level in every state except for one, Arkansas, in the past year..."
I certainly didn't see or hear anything about obesity not increasing in 49 states. Here's an interesting correlation.
Even though it's from July, I think the story about the virtual halt in obesity is good news, even if the rest of the story was a bunch of nanny statism.
The obesity epidemic started at exactly the same time that government decided to get into the business of telling us what to eat.
Mrs. Hussein’s fascist food campaign has to be shown as something other than a blast of hot air.
If this outfit is involved, it is immediately suspect. They don't get involved in anything that doesn't have a benefit to the bottom line of Johnson & Johnson pharmaceuticals because the vast majority of the RWJF funding comes from their portfolio of J&J stock.
Hilarious!
obesity went in Arkansas cuz their football team lost? Am I catching on?
Or are they stressed over Hillary?
As some in the food industry, what you posted is right.
However, drinks like Monster and Star are on the rise. Smaller portions, but much higher loads of sugar.
And honestly, when one of the biggest health concerns we have for poor people is them getting to fat, we are among the wealthiest in all of history. I want a banner that hangs in the UN stating that “We made the world’s poor FAT!”
Yep.
What is the pro-Democrat purpose of this article? Set us up for medical rationing based on weight ... food rationing ... could be other points.
“Even if the nation holds steady at the current rates, Baby Boomers—who are aging into obesity-related illnesses—and the rapidly rising numbers of extremely obese Americans are already translating into a cost crisis for the healthcare system and Medicare.”
I don’t suppose that the amount of “americans” not working
and living on the dole/food stamps and not getting the
exercise they would if they had JOBS, has anything to
do with it.
Wait a minute, I thought Hillary moved to NYC after leaving DC?
I do wish our controllers would MAKE UP THEIR MINDS!!!
Are the kids too fat, or are they starving?
No WONDER the mean Republicans want to cut back on SNAP!
I like the way you think!
It makes you have a large CAN.
But, to be fair, some cultures LOVE a large can!
Goes to show there are really people who possess the sense to not eat crap that turns them into an Orca-and maybe they even have full length mirrors and a sense of how they look-peer pressure works better than nanny edicts, and I don’t think it is “mean”...
I’ll bet if those EBT cards could only be used for fresh produce, meat, rice you have to cook from scratch, etc, not only would more people be healthy and save money on food, but the cards wouldn’t be as attractive because of their limitations, and eventually not many people would “need” them...
And just think how much money people would save by wearing regular sizes instead of being limited to the Oscar de la Tenta racks of the store...
Until gays are treated as smokers currently are, both smokers and fatties should be left alone. Neither smoking or obesity are or cause communicable diseases, the same can not be said about HIV/AIDS.
