| Obesity in children. I blame stupid parents who take their kids to fast food resteraunts(sp) for every meal. Granted some parents are busy with jobs and the like. I could understand someone with a single mother being on the plump side. But other parents just dont care. They know the food is bad yet they take their kids there anyway. My friend's whole family eats fast food once r twice a day. They are really fat. The parents dont even have time consuming jobs. They're bus drivers. They have most of the day off. They're a perfect example of the problem. |

It's entirely personal responsibility, and in the case of children still in their parent's care, the parents who are responsible. Nobody makes you go and buy bad foods. Schools have a certain level of nutritional education, but if the parents don't enforce that at home, it's wasted information.
I think there are cases where it's an addiction and somebody really does have a problem with not being able to resist, but they have a responsibility to get help. McDonald's can't make you get help or shut the door on you. Either way, it's on the person. Deranged individuals who kill people are still accountable for their actions and locked up or forced to get help. -------------

I blame the Government... I think they should put a 500% Tax on Junk food... think about it... we would clear or national Deficet in a matter of months, and Alot of people would get so pissed off over it they would sop eating it and go to Natural food. -------------

Ah, but taxing junk food would be like taxing cigarettes. I used to work in a convenience store, and the people would come in every day buying smokes. They'd tell me that when it got to such-and-such price, they'd quit. When the price got that high, 9 out of 10 of them were still coming in and setting a new quitting price. People will pay whatever they have to for their vices. -------------

^ Exactly... If we Tax Junk food to ungodly ammount then people would still buy it but hey... our Deficet is Clear... then After its clear, we could just ban anything with over 1,000 Calories in it. -------------

Hostess and Little Debbie will join forces and move out of the country where they can distribute their goods in plain packaging over the internet and through smugglers. Do you have any idea how much an IV bag of cream filling would go for on the black market?
And yes, the sugar vendor girls will be hot. They'll have to be because sex will still sell, and even the most horribly overweight, government blaming, sugar addict will still prefer to buy from a hot chick. -------------

When your under the age of where you can understand it, I feel it's the parents. I think once your around 13, you can make a concious choice to go run or exercise. And even mcdonalds has salads. It's kind of getting old hearing the youth blame the elders for their problems. Why don't you say what needs to be said, and say it's my fault. You can't blame everything on your parents once your 18. -------------

I'm 5'8", about 170, im heavy, but i wouldnt call myself fat. I go out
on the weekend, and sometimes after school. I have alot of friends and
we hang out alot. I do eat quite a bit of fast food, but I don't eat
much at home. usually 2 meals a day becuase of my sleeping pattern. my little bro is thinner than me, and he hasnt been outside with friends since like 3 days before Xmas. all he does is play computer games. When i was younger, I used to be kind of fat. i've thinned out and I hope he gets fat so I can rip on him for all the times he's ripped on me. -------------

6 ft 250lbs. Im a big boy. But i dont sit around all day playing video games, I enjoy working out and running. Im in the process of loseing more wieght. I WAS up to 280 about a month ago. Im also one of the most athledic big kids you will ever met. I blame the person as long as thier over 13. Cuz before that age, you arent allowed to make your our descions. After that, you can chage your life. |

My family eats fast food about every night. Kinda fat I guess,
but my brother is young so you can't really tell and I am growing so I
am loosing weight. I figured I loose about 3-5 pounds every
paintball day because I eat a small breakast, too busy playing to eat
lunch, and am asleep at dinner time.

If there was no gravity then I would be really really uber strong. But a big shout out to masturbation.

I will tell you why America is so damned fat. Because it is so convenient to eat. Advertising people are flinging their **** at us and telling us how extreme it is, and we are like "Okay, I like variety" and they gobble down that cheap processed **** and are all like "Mmmm, more please!" Because the store/restaurant is like ten minutes away and it is right next to where you work. Junk food is disguised as something that may be good for you when in fact it is coated in delicious, addictive elf saliva and you have cravings for it in the middle of the night and then go out and get some more since they are open late. AMERICA IS HIDEOUS AND ADDICTED TO ****! And the guys with comb-overs in the business suits are making money off of it, occasionally dropping nickels or quarters to their worker ants so they themselves can buy some of that yummy dwarf secretion. ------------- Who loves the chocolate?
