This is a great video that explains the obesity epidemic in the US -- primarily from packaged foods.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1oRlVKwrio

@ 16:50 - Sugared beverages account for 35% of sugar in our diet; desserts/sweets account for 16%, and 49% in other hidden sources

@ 18:00 Bottom line: Our society has become obese. Social Security only works if you have healthy young adults contributing. If they become sick, the entire system collapses.

Man I cringe when I pass a large black man or woman (especially if they be on a scooter) in the store.

Looking in their cart, oh my goodness. Packaged everything.

I once used to get Vicodin from a woman in negro town.

There I said it.

And this woman whom I will call Clara, because that's her real name, one day said to me that Larry (big negro friend of hers that I knew as well), his wife (whom I will call Patricia because that is her real name who was also, like, real big, you feel me?), walked in the house and Larry was dead sitting up in his chair.

Then later I went to see Clara and I said how's Patricia (Patricia always had a big coca cola in her hand) and Clara (again, her real name), said well she died. Man alive.

Anybody follow this story?

Clara never looked too dang good herself and BTW her husband Melvo (or something like that) was big too and played the bass guitar and why am I telling you this?

Want any more stories cause I got a lot.

Of course they all smoked. Also I used to get them Jumbo Jacks.

OMG! I have the same reaction! When I see a morbidly obese person I don't feel sorry for them, I feel disgusted. Take control of your life and stop being a victim.

I have one relative like this and it pisses me off. No matter what info you give them, they eat all the junk and then complain about the illnesses. I finally said to this person 'you know you will die in 5 years , right'? That woke them up a bit -- but we will see if it lasts.

>they eat all the junk and then complain about the illnesses

That's what's so crazy. And nowadays ignorance is no excuse, the pertinent knowledge and facts are everywhere.

Agreed. Info is power. People need to take control of their health. The data is out there. And you can get virtually any recipe on the net you want for free!
