AmeriFats: extreme obesity on the rise
wtf America
how do people allow themselves to get like this...
[i]Percentage* of adults who were obese in:
1960: 13%
1980: 15%
1994: 23%
2000: 31%
2008: 34%
2010: 36%
2012: 35%
*Note: Percentages are rounded
Source: National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Recent government data showed that obesity among U.S. adults is continuing to level off after several decades of skyrocketing growth. In 2012, about 34.9% of the people in this country were obese, roughly 35 pounds over a healthy weight. That was not significantly different from the 35.7% who were obese in 2010, according to Cynthia Ogden, an epidemiologist with the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At the same time, another disturbing trend is emerging: The percentage of people who are extremely obese, that is roughly 100 pounds over a healthy weight, rose from 2.8% in 1994 to 4.8% in 2004 to 6.3% in 2010, according to the CDC.[/i]

1 ReplyAnd why do we judge people on how "fat" he or she is? My wife is a little heavy but her kind heart and compassion for others makes her the most beautiful person I know. I hate how shallow and cruel people are in today's society.

See I never understood why 20 percent was obese. Can I not e conpletely skinny and have a bit of a stomach? Or big boned shoulders? What a terrible way to figure out body fat percentage.

1 ReplyI am not fat. Not a single person in family, including cousins, uncles, aunts are fat. And I don't have one friend that is fat either. Also, fat people can still achieve their goals in life. The governor of New Jersey is fat and the people there love him. It's pure jealousy of the United States

OP is just a jealous foreigner who cant afford to eat as much as he wants

The standards for obesity here don't calculate other things such as muscle into it. So if your muscles makes you weigh more than you should for your height, that makes you obese. Like the football coach at my school, he's in amazing shape but is considered obese.

I often get told I'm too thin.

Great. Now excuse me while I go get some midnight McDonalds with my brother.

2 RepliesEdited by MoReCoWbELLx2x1: 12/25/2013 8:20:09 PMThese obesity studies mean nothing. They said Arnold the govenator was obese because he was so muscular. So almost any person that is extremely muscular, such as the hundreds and thousands of NFL and NBA basketball player are considered obese, because they are above the recommended wait for their stature. Not because they are fat, but because of muscle. So these studies are very scewed. /thread

Edited by KrankReality: 12/25/2013 8:27:15 PMDoesnt matter how fat you are, if you want to be a fat piece of dick so be it. I really don't see the big issue. Obese people have a higher chance of dying from some sort of fat related disease, so let them live, for the 2 years they have left, in peace.
