The area in which I live the people are getting larger and larger. Even the "healthy" kids are looking chubby and man are they out of shape. The kids are sitting around on computers and many of them look like the character on the movie "Powder" with no skin pigment.....many girls these days have no problem whatsoever with being 50 lbs overweight and "cute chubby" by the time they graduate from high school. And many guys have those man boobs before they are 20. I just don't get it but it is a serious problem. Unless there are consequences for their actions there will never be a dramatic shift. $ talks and bs walks......your obese and not because of that 1% heredity thing?..... then your insurance premiums get jacked and/or you lose rights to certain types of healthcare. You want to be a slob, then so be it. Same goes for people who admittedly drink too much alcohol...you drink too much then so be it. You might have to liquidate your house in order to pay for services when your liver starts to erode. Don't count on being given anything via someone elses hard earned dollar. And the same goes for MANY other things in life. People have to own up to what they have done and realize that there are consequences for their actions. IF there are legitimate health problems bases on things like raceway described, then dig into the insurance money and pay for it on all of us, because that is what health insurance is all about...health insurance is not supposed to be (according to me) a catch all for people who knowingly abuse their body and then expect all of us to pay for their slobish ways.
I'm against drunk drivers, binge drinkers and pot smokers to...Who do they hurt no one until they go to the hospital to correct something that went wrong and they don't pay their bill. Or the drunk driver that get's behind the wheel swearing they can drive better than any non-drinker on the road. They all are problem people that force their trash on the community by in large.
People will sell their food stamp cards for cash or let you use them to purchase the things you need for cash in return....Outside of getting the government to drop the food at a welfare recipients door step for get it....the food-stamp program is nothing more than an busted wheel.
I typed a whole bunch of crap, but in the end being in shape is not easy. The whole world wants easy. My gym time is 5am because i have to, not because I want to. I have not been able to keep a gym partner in years, since my best friend took a job in Iraq. My membership allows a guest to go free everytime I go. I dont ask for money, I ask them to be on time and workout with me. Nope, people simply are not willing to do it, and its free. Look around the gym, anyone who is dedicated....usually works out alone becaue that is the only person you can get there each time. Alot of misinformation on food as well. Sensa, just eat this pizza and ice cream, sensa will trick your body into thinking you are full...over 10 million sold
True Story, We have a local dairy that produces amazing milk. They have all you standard milks, plus things like cotton candy flavored, banana, strawberry, rootbeer, orange flavored. It comes in nice glass bottles that you have to pay a deposit on. They sell it at many of the local grocery stores including Hy-Vee. Hy-Vee had to post a sign that said it was no longer available for purchase using the EBT cards(food stamps). Why you ask? Because they were buying this amazing milk, carrying it out into the parking lot, opening it up, and dumping it out. Then taking the bottle back for the cash from their deposit. They go out of their way to cheat the system.
Just 2 minutes ago, a lady (actually more on the thin side) got done telling me how she bought these "raspberry ketone" pills that are going to reduce her belly fat. WTF people?! Use an ounce of brainpower... There is no magic pill. Put down the cheese danish.
Obesity in most cases is like drug addiction or alcoholism. No one can mandate obesity out of existence. Unless the person who has the problem wants to change, there is nothing anyone can do.
This is one of the hottest things out right now, and its sad how many people have been tricked into thinking this is a miracle weight loss aid...again. Lose weight without diet or exercise!!! Does anyone still have a sack kicking image from their days at the other hunting site? Because the people who sell this deserve one.
Obesity does start with education and it is something that should be taught in schools (since the average person does not have a great understanding of nutrition). More life skills should be taught in schools. Healthy foods should be the only things allowed to be sold in school cafeterias. Physical education should be made mandatory. Not only with this make kids healthier but it will also make them smarter! Yes smarter. Kids have ridiculous amounts of energy and need to burn it off to allow them to focus. Proper nutrition and exercise will allow them to focus more. Less diagnosing kids having ADD or whatever they are calling it these days.
Good post downwind. Its amazing how many kids can stop taking meds, eat a good diet, and their ADD magically goes away.
