Damn Why has Obesity rate in US Increased 1985 - 2021 in a Ridiculously High Rate

Interesting how it’s always Mississippi and West Virginia leading the way. Also interesting how they are both impoverished failed states.

Definite connection between finance and health.
 
Anytime my friends and family celebrate, its always around lots of food
 
Folks don’t understand how much activity people use to get from walking to the store or walking to the bus stop. Add-on a McDonald’s on every corner and food portions getting way out of control and voila!

How many people gained a lot of weight during the pandemic working remote. All those walks to get something to eat for lunch and walking back and forth to your car add up. The human body isn’t meant to be so sedentary. Some folks got the memo and started walking daily.

Another thing, working remote isn’t meant for you to sleep in and just be lazy. It’s meant to increase your quality of life. The time you normally spend commuting should be spent working-out and preparing meals at home for you or your family. If you don’t you will be in worse shape than just going ahead and commuting to an office. Work/life balance. That’s all.
 
Before we as a people had free and convenient access to alternative information we were "programmed" by TV and radio.

Cartoons and kid shows were created to to sell product, period.

Mom cooked delicious food but she didn't have Nestle's marketing budget and food scientist gunning for our impressionable brains.

Colorful cereals full of sugar with free toys inside marketed to children and parents as a balanced breakfast. That shit was dessert.
"Energizing healthy" Sunny Delight (canola oil juice wtf?!) or any fruit juice in a carton was straight up sugar.
Pop Tarts (processed wheat with HFCS BS), Toaster Struedels if you were fancy.
Begging our parents to buy us McDonalds on the way home, take us to Pizza Hut anything but delicious nutritious "food at home."

Develop the addicts early and you'll have them for life. :smh:
 
Do we blame the people who build gay bars for a buck, for the gay people who choose to go to them? :idea:
Naw ultimately people are to blame for their own decisions, but fast food restaurants made it so convenient for people to get food for cheap, and they put one of these restaurants at every street corner. So if you look at the reason it is cheap convenient food. :dunno:

As long as there are people willing to shell out money for bad food sellers will find ways to capitalize on it.
 
I'm got some chicken, vegetables, and rice. My advice to everyone is to drop the dough and get an air fryer. Easy as shit, quick as shit, and you're not standing over a hot stove frying shit. The gym thing is back in motion. I had some problems earlier this year when I had some gastrointestinal issues that required me to take some meds that prevented me from working out. The last two weeks have been great. Working out, eating clean, chilling out on drinking during the week, and doing a lot of writing. The hardest thing is typically the eating, but for me it's the drinking.


What kind of rice do you eat?
 
Low wages and easily accessible bad food. You can enjoy the foods of your heritage, but you don't need to eat gumbo and tiramisu every day. It's expensive to eat right, especially when people are used to eating a quantity of food, not necessarily a quality of food.

not really expensive.... smoked meat and vegetables every night... brah
 
Well, maybe people are broke and forced to eat bullshit. Can't go to whole foods without bread. You can go to Wayfield or Piggly Wiggly or some other bullshit though. Eating healthy in the US is not cheap.
 
I think a lot of it has to do with how our neighborhoods are designed.

When people live in homes where all of their daily needs are within five blocks they tend to walk a lot more. If there's a convenient bus or train to work they might not even need to own a car.

However, when those same people get their first car and a home in the suburbs the weight piles on very quick. Within 6 months a lot of these folks don't even look like they're the same species anymore.
 
Food pyramid, hormones and chemicals in the food, marketing, more video games/less outdoor play, sedentary lifestyle, driving vs walking, insulin resistance, food deserts, unaddressed stress and mental issues that lead to over eating, no home ec in schools, reliance upon convenience foods due to working multiple jobs or having to have something quick kids can fix themselves. It's not just one thing, it's multiple things that have been a lifestyle and societal shift.
You just got all the answers, what?
I'ma send Sway to you
 
Ppl just don’t care. We live in the most liberated and one of the richest lands where you can die from over consumption of eating. It’s not expensive to eat healthy. You can get the same fruits, vegetables, grain, nuts, and meats at a farmers market at Wal-Mart, Piggly Wiggly, Big Bear, Krogers, etc. Ppl are just too lazy to take the time to pay attention to what they are eating, and by the time they do pay attention it’s too late.
 
I'm an individual with pretty good memory, and one thing I remember is people not being so fatty when I was young.

People out here are either swollen or carrying more fat than their body should have.
We were outside from early in the morning until it was time to come home. Football, basketball, baseball, manhunt, bike riding...all exercise, all day long.
 
Work yall fat asses out or die. Excuses don't make muscles.

Its a scientific fact being fat can make you lazy and stupid.

If you like life past 70 you keep yourself in shape. If you wanna die by 65, fuck it super size that shit and get the appie pie with the ice cream on top.
 
These people are spiritually dying as well. That’s why fasting is important and will give you clarity on what’s going on around you.
 
Multiple issues these days.

Also our forebears were not fat AF a generation ago. Check the family photo albums.
 
2 words = CORN SYRUP as in high fructose corn syrup sweetner.....they put that shot in everything from drinks to foods to fast foods for sweetners.

Why is it only Black women seem to be getting fatter and not Black men?

The article I posted today on stress said women tend to turn to food while men turn to alcohol or drugs, but I posted it for the info it contained about stress and insulin resistance and how cortisol plays a role.
