Seems like a spot on Article about "Fat"
What can be done to stop this? Handicap Parking should now be called Fat Spots.

Sad but true.

I'm sure we've all heard this song:

Americans, let's face it: We've been a spoiled country for a long time.
Do you know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity. They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic.
An epidemic like it is polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day.
The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.
"How'd you get through it grandpa?"
"Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere."

Nobody knows why were getting fatter? Look at our lifestyle.
I'll sit at a drive thru.
I'll sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up to make the eight foot walk to the totally empty counter.
Everything is mega meal, super sized. Want biggie fries, super sized, want to go large.
You want to have thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother fucker. There's room in the back. Take it!
Want a 55 gallon drum of Coke with that? It's only three more cents.

I find this very sad. I switched to paleo and feel amazing, but most people don't care enough to take care of themselves with even the most basic dietary changes. :facepalm:

So it turns out according to the article that Obesity is a bigger drain on tax dollars than smoking. Smokers and pedophiles are almost on the same level these days. Will over weight folks have to eat in special sections of restaurants to not upset the skinny. Maybe ride in the middle of the bus to keep from tipping it over.
I suppose I would weight 500lbs if not for genes. Thanks mom and dad.

My daughter does the paleo thing. Hard for her to eat out but I'm happy about it. Meat is good to eat!
