3 out of 4 Americans will be obese or overweight by 2020

Citizens of the world's richest countries are getting fatter and fatter and the United States is leading the charge, an organization of leading economies said Thursday in its first-ever obesity forecast.

Three out of four Americans will be overweight or obese by 2020, unless governments, individuals and industry cooperate on a comprehensive strategy to combat the epidemic, the study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said.

The ranks of the overweight have swelled to nearly 70 percent in the U.S. this year from well below 50 percent in 1980. About 86 percent of U.S. adults would be overweight or obese by 2030 if current trends continue.

Seriously my fellow Americans, are some of you allergic to exercising or something???

 

I think a lot of it is just the fast paced lifestyle we lead in north america. I just always feel like I'm on the go and there's not enough time in the day, and everything I mean to do just keeps being pushed onto the next day's list of things. So, since people might feel rushed they just get fast food and eat it right away, rather than take time to go grocery shopping, think of what to make, and then prepare and cook it.

Just my opinion.

 

yo....are you really 16?

 

lol... my profile has my age on it. So no, I'm not 16... dummy

 

you do know im going to fuck you up, right?

 

You 2 crack me up...lol

 

Exactly. It's our lifestyle that causes this. That's basically it.

 

look im keepin it 100, no more no less

i think this joint likes to tussle with men anyway, so that shit aint nuttin new

:mrgreen:

 

I'm not surprised.


A lot of these foods nowadays are terrible.

You can thank the 'Fast Food Nation' of corporations.

 

wouldnt be bad if mofos continued to exercise AFTER high school. Eating junk is bad on its own, but even worse when you dont do that.

 

Exactly.


That being said, I'm taking my ass to the gym tomorrow.

 

seriously man...phys ed was mandatory in school for a reason...

after graduation, mofos get lazy as fuck. 3 times a week is all you need. plus you'll feel better

 

^ You're right. A lot of people just don't exercise.

At all.

I'm not talking about taking a walk around the block or even just walking one mile.

Go to the GYM, or if you're doing a mile, RUN, but most importantly, exercise.

No excuses. If you have an entire gym at home, (I'm not talking bowflex or some half-ass equipment like that) then use that shit. All of it.

Otherwise, do some cardio and burn that fat.


Most importantly, do SOMETHING instead of making a million excuses.

That gets you nowhere.

 

seriously....I know life can be stressful but DAMN..if you got the time to lurk HERE (you know who you are), you got the time to bangout a workout

if we ever had to draft people into service, we'd be fuck

 

I was on an amry forum last night an dudes were talking about how HALF the guys in their unit were fat or pushin' it. Maybe they should test physical fitness more frequently while in service.

 

compared to our last wars, this one is buttah..

you never see fat guys from WW2

 

after visiting i can say its the portion sizes and the quality of meals available. you don't get half the stuff here that you get over there luckily...i mean...cheesy fries with deep fried bacon...!!!! good lord....!!!

 

And that's just the appetizer!


crraazzzyyy!

 

absolutely nuts














speaking of nuts...i have a hankering for some nuts and a bar of chocolate right now
