But who shopped fed the obese and how did they afford the food to go 200 lbs.. 300.. 400...
Then there are the habbits of eating while watching TV, and watching a LOT of TV. And eating at McDonald’s a lot, and “stress eating”.
i.e. it’s more than just enjoying the flavor.
Yes, I believe it. Fat people I have known LOVE food. Fat, Sugar, Frozen Fish Sticks right out of the freezer, etc. But I am fat now too. I eat less but I think metablolism slows down once we are elderly. Then we get super skinny as we get really old. That is how my family did.
My uncle would have been 102 this month. Richard Thoos Hargrove... MIA WWII B 17 Over France. The men on his side of our family were all 6 ft 3 inches or taller, and never got fat. On my mom’s side the men stayed thin but the aunts all got fat for a while.
Great Grandpa Hargrove was REALLY tall, so was my daddy. Daddy would have been 100 Sept 1 2019
What is amazing to me is that the poorest are now the most likely to be obese, something that has never happened before anywhere. Every time I see threads about civil war or even sustained conflict about to spark off, I am kind of reassured that nothing like that has ever happened while the poorest of a nation were so amazingly fat and entertained. I guess there could be a first time for anything, but it’s hard to imagine at least while these conditions persist.

If President Trump makes any comment on this subject, the media will claim the word “obesity” is racist, and Trump is using it as a “dog whistle.”
They also like sitting on their asses more, and like watching tv more than other people.
Wheres my million dollar govt grant?
Or maybe they just have more opportunity?
After my head injury some 12 plus years ago, I was home 5 years. LONG and nasty recovery but 95 percent good :)
I went from 220 to 435. YES you read that last number correctly.
Now I’m in the high 200s.
And I STARVED to lose it.
Anyone tells you you’re gonna lose over 100 pounds without being hungry a lot is LYING. :)
Thing is you eat out of despair and SO MUCH.
I tell the brain injured vets (i am not one) to Not ADD another problem which is the weight gain.
Now I have to drop the last 60 and i’ll still by pudgy but i’ll live :)
And the people that buy and MAKE the food for people that heavy are just as guilty.
I ordered out alot :)
Is that the case or does it take them a greater quantity to feel satisfied from what they eat? If so, it seems as if they might enjoy it less.
Golly, ya think? Fat people enjoying good, who’d a think it? Big question is, why didn’t the funding agency just ask me? I wouldn’t have billed them more than $39k.( The remaining balance of my mortgage)
There are metabolic issues that no one is talking about.
My cholesterol counts are good. My blood pressure this morning was 110 over 72. My resting heart rate is in the 50’s. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. My job is physical, I might spend 1/2 an hour a day at my desk.
Yet I am 6’ tall and weight 282
I cut my caloric intake to 1200 a day and I am maintaining, but not losing weight.
Am doing keno now, but not really seeing improvement.
Tried to go to an endocrinologist, but the one my insurance will pay for says they don’t do weight loss.
It really pisses me off to see holier than thou jerks telling overweight people to eat less ice cream. F you and the horse you rode in on.
Whenever I eat pho, which isn’t too often, it tastes great at first. “Wow, this is good,” I’ll think or say. By the time it’s half gone, I’m thinking, “why does this suddenly taste like crap?” Happens every time. If I needed to lose weight, I would eat pho.
I envy people who really enjoy the taste of food, but thankfully, the ones I know try to stick to the foods that they enjoy the most.
They won’t waste their “snack allotment” (as it were) on crappy chips just because they like chips. This becomes self-limiting, as the crappy stuff is usually the most widely available and the good stuff is a bit pricier, so you have to budget cost along with the calories.
I love the taste of a lot of food, and am still a little fat. But with recent health checkup changed what I eat. With that I lost 30+ LBS in 8 weeks without giving up on flavor or eating kale or salad.
Stop eating processed foods
Stop eating bread
Stop eating sugar
Stop eating corn or corn derivatives
Stop eating starches like potatoes and rice and pasta
Stop drinking beer/wine/hard liquor
At this point you may say what do you eat
Steak
Sweet potato
Asparagus
Green veggies
Fish/Shrimp w/out batter
Chicken Not battered but deep fry it if you want
Any meat really, like sausage, go ahead
Cheese
Milk and dairy, not fake, and not low fat, eat real butter
Berries, like strawberry, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc...
Nuts, any and all, salted or not, not the sugar coated ones
Bacon, eat a lot of bacon, and eggs are good along with sausage, turkey, and roast beef
Simply put, meat, dairy, and green veggies along with sweet potato and you will eat great and drop the pounds without sacrifice of taste. It has super ability to lower your diabetes risks, indexing very low, and the weight loss dumped my need for high blood pressure meds. Truth is nothing at McDonalds is good for you except black coffee and the water. Their breads are nothing but sugars, getting off sugar is #1, getting off of starches is a close #2. Zero carbs, zero sugar = easy loss in weight.
Try that experiment again but use turnips instead.
BS
which came first, the chicken or the fries?
Yes the obese love Food and hate Mirrors!-)
