"It's true. America is fat and getting fatter. Just look around at all the disgusting huge, foul, make me sick to look at people, and then go find some stats on how many of these land-whales are being treated for their obesity. What a waste.
If kids can say no to drugs why can't fully-grown adults say no to that 4th bag of party chips? If you've already eaten a large pizza and a half gallon of pop for dinner, plus a quart of ice cream for desert do you really need those chips? Honestly?"
LOL! (Feeling so ticklish today.
) I think we agree 100% here. It bugs me to watch Americans--kids especially--grow as chubby as hell and then buy this junk foods on a daily basis. I remember my high school's softball coach: He would have his family at Jack in the Box every single morning. I saw them as I walked to school everyday. It was pathetic 'cuz of course they were all chubby (his wife, his son, his daughter and himself).
It was a sad situation. I wondered if it was a matter of time or just laziness. Now it isn't so traditional to see women or men eat home-made food. Now, I know I'm guilty of it since I cannot cook myself. But believe me, rather than eat outside food on a daily basis, I will eat some home-made junk I can put my hand on.
I was only trying to personalise the situation. Nevertheless, this is a big problem that has affected so many American families. Someone at another forum recently posted a report on the increase in overweightness amongst American kids. There was a poverty connection, but I don't buy that crap really, for even wealthy families have overweight kids.
As pointed out in my nutrition book, pets of families with overweight members are usually overweight too, so it is not a matter of genetics either. In the industralised nations especially, it is a matter of having too much to eat. I, for one, endeavour to practice the concept of moderation. So, do not for a moment assume that I do not eat junk foods. I eat them . . . a lot even.
It's just I learn not to eat them on a daily or weekly basis. I learn to break them into parts too, so I don't consume a bowl of ice cream in a second. Moderation is always the best resolution.
I'm physically fit and slender. I do not exercise, except every chance I have to walk I would, rather than take a ride in or drive a car. But that rarely happens, yet I'm able to maintain a reasonable shape and stay physically fit. I simply endeavour to eat moderately, despite the slight upper hand I have with a natural tendency to stay slender. If I were to get greedy at any point, I will begin visiting the gym or jogging on a daily basis; for I cannot have my cake and eat it too.
In a nutshell, greed and absolute pleasure regardless comes with a price. You should be prepared to accept its consequences, for no good thing comes for free or is easy to obtain.
