In the U.S. the obesity epidemic is growing, with around 75 percent of Americans now considered overweight. And as waistlines across the country swell out, so do the pockets of big corporations, who every year make millions from the fattening of America. First Lady Michelle Obama warns that obesity could be the next national security threat - with one in four adults unable to serve in the military because they're overweight. Now she's leading by example - keeping herself physically fit and teaching children the importance of healthy eating. Obesity costs the U.S. Department of Defense 1.1 billion dollars a year, and that looks unlikely to improve, as big corporations continue to choose profit over quality.

'According to US Congress pizzas are now vegetables!' ;D
-
Don't worry. I'm sure the "War on Obesity" will soon be declared.
-
i hope they will throw bombs as well then?
-
It just doesnt fit into my tiny brain how they let themselves get into that stage...I mean, this problem has been around for decades and now they start to really react.
-
Good for her, I am not an Obama fan, or her for that matter because she seems like a bitch, but it needs to be done. The majority of Americans are fat and embarrassing.
-
Americans serve their children pizza and sugary milk in the mornings at schools ::)
Start 'em young 8)
-
maybe they should open a few "work" camps somewhere in usa for people above a certain weight.
-
...and yet we consider steroids, marijuana, and gay marriage BIG problems in america ::). I hate people so much... especially the fat ones.

That's bullshit- the government wants people obese = live less = more money for healthcare and drugs = MORE MONEY FOR CORRUPT US GOV'T
-
You know this country is irreversibly broken when the First Bitch says obesity is a problem because it prevents people from joining the military, of all the reasons why it's not optimal
Of course, to our Government which has ended us anything that doesn't get people dependent upon it is enemy #1

when i think of america i think of fat people with terrible dress sense....

agreed, yet the second you say anything about it in public, you are accused of being insensitive and immature. fucking fatties

Fat is a dictator and must receive sum' of carpet bombing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
two words: preventive bombing.
-
Won't matter, soon the human soldier will be replaced by AI Death Machines. All those drones they use today is the beginning of this.

I dont see the situation improving to be honest.most americans escpecialy young white males 17 up to early 30s are interested in video games and tv sports for most part.maybe the only excuse for sports fanatics is unless they were atheltes they wouldnt need to be in shape.

And futhermore.it seems absurd that anyone with sense could be so against using hormones in this fattter estrogenic society.
Open your eyes my friends.

Most of the food here is complete shit. Full of chemicals, preservatives, high in fat, high in sodium, full of sugars, etc. And like the article said then the companies making garbage this get rich and as a result pharma companies get even more rich selling their drugs.
Finding good healthy organic foods that are not full of crap is possible in America, but it is much more expensive. I think the government here wants to keep you sick and unhealthy as a means of control. If they cared about your health lots of this shit wouldn't even be permitted to be manufactured. Most of fast food, processed food, and majority of what is created I wouldn't feed to my dog.

Well that would mean you have a choice in what you put into your body if hormones were legal again. And you can try to achieve some level of health with responsible usage. Instead we are not treated like adults for that topic. Our stupid government has made the choice for us.
But hey they allow things like alcohol, tobacco, known poisonous narcotic prescription pain killers, known liver destroying Tylenol, trans fats that just plug up your veins, and millions of other toxic chemicals that slowly kill you. But steroids for health... oh that is the devil in USA. Our government is retarded!
-
not that im downing anyone who smokes it but pot now is practically mainstream in the us.i really find it hard to see hormones becoming this way.perhaps like gh15 said we could settle for a climate like the 70s and 80s and we could be better off.
ive said for the longest the whole issue of hormones is very easy for the american population to be against.
they are ignorant of it and very fat.
bb,powerlifting etc will probably never be noticable in the culture like the 70s and 80s again.
the us population just doesent connect with it.

What needs to be done? The government telling us what and what not to eat? Pleease.

Well, as the nation didn't get fit with Schwarzenegger/Reagan, or rush to the libraries and books under Bush, I'd rest easy, Coach. ;)

Wasn't it Schwarzenegger/ Bush who tried to pump America up?

Coach, you get more retarded in every post. No, the govt cant shove healthy food down our throats, but they can make healthy suggestions like michelle obama did. And ya know what, most americans are too stupid to know what healthy food is and a little education on healthy eating goes a long way, even if its from the govg.

You are correct, Sir! Seems Arnold was Bush Sr.'s Fitness Chairman from 90-92. And, if you can believe it, Lee Haney held the same position for Clinton, from '99-'02. So, take your steroids, kids, and get fit, fit, fit!

The problem I see is that over time, government's "suggestions" become mandates.
Sorry that not all Americans are as brilliant as you are. ::)
