One reason for america's fatness

[Samourai Pizzacat]

I love the excuses so far.....hahahahaha

Nobody has gotten the right answer yet as to why people are fat.

There is no specific answer, it's a number of factors, including bad diet, little excercise. Bad diet can be split up in too much fastfood, to much refined sugar, too big portions etc. The reasons behind those factors again have different causes, like lack of time, lack of knowledge, instant gratification motivation etc, sugar addiction. Suggesting that there's one answer is a folly. All this is no excuse for being aboses, but it shows obesity stems from cultural values to self-destructive behaviour to genetics in some cases. And all these factors intertwine and interact...

Besides, being single digit BF is different from being healthy, around 15% BF is perfectly normal and healthy, constantly being below 10% can lead to reduced immune-system functioningand disruption of the hormonal system, among others.

That's rougly 50 gallons per person.

That's rougly 500 cans per person.

That's rougly 70,000 calories.

That's rougly a 20 lb gain a year.  per person.

our society demands convenience to supply productivity. we're all just rats on a revenue wheel to our respective governments.

obesity is just an economic side effect

it is that simple

that's like saying it's a side effect of a certain lvl of civilization. Well, for a functional answer it's a bit too much of a meta level isn't it?

[jaejonna]

I drink carbonated drinks like deit pepsi and I have abs bro.

I think it is basically a matter of the diet. Large portions, as well as unhealthy foods seem to be fairly popular.

[SteelePegasus]

I have to go to the US to see it for myself, I really can't belive that there are so many fat people.

on the plus side we have a lot of thick healthy chicks, nice big tits and ass. I love a girl with some good size on her.

these young girls running around with 25-35% BF..hmmmmmm

wouldnt you agree that all civilizations are fabricated by their economic environment?

I work out 5 days a week, but I eat like shit 7 days a week.

Semantics, mais non! Suppose you work a government organisation bestowed with the task of a program to reduce obesity and you were asked to try to get useable strategy for the problem, would you come up with the same answer? Short career it would be...


BTW Civilization and economic environment are interacting.

Oui! Well it would be a counter productive strategy wouldnt it...after all, what Im suggesting, is it's the very environment they've created that's the cause.

btw Didnt Tom Clancy say that?

[sarcasm]

weight gain is a simple matter of mathematics.......CALORI ES IN VS. CALORIES OUT plain and simple, if you eat more calories than you use you will build bodyfat and store adipose tissue it's as simple as that, it doesn't matter if the calories are from tuna and brown rice or pizza and ice cream, excess total calories equals bodyfat.

[The True Adonis]

Stupidity and lack of knowledge is the underlying reason.

[dzulboy]

How Come I eat Mcdonalds everyday just about and Burger King, Ice Cream Cookies Doughnuts and spend a lot of time watching Tv,Reading and on the computer and do NO cardio, yet manage to stay in single digit bodyfat?

bro you were barely 8-9% for the mr getbig   you are in double digits       by no means overweight  but you a5ren't in single digits

[SWOLETRAIN]

Another.... A big filling hamburger $1.00 ready in two minutes and on every corner. Chase that down with some sugar water and bingo.... your fat!

[SteelePegasus]

that mother fucker really pisses me off. The bastard came in second and won't shut the fuck up. Most people that come in second will congratulate the winner and strive to make improvements. Not this little piece of shit.

I know a girl, skinny as a bean pole, can't be more than 10% BF, never worked out before. But I don't need see her running around with the "skinny school girl principals".

and for the record she has more muscle  mass than that dumb german mother fucker.

Go to any 3rd world country where people are starving and you will guys with more muscle mass than gay donis

That's because you don't leave the gym in search of the nearest Oreo cookie.
