Study predicts 42 percent of Americans will be obese in 2030
Quote:
In 2030, 42 percent of American adults will be obese, and about one-quarter of that group will be severely obese, a condition that shortens life and incurs large medical expenses, a new study predicts.
And why shouldn't they be fat? The story about the death of the fat cat proves health food kills.

Alright ! We don't have enough jobs in the U.S. already. Now you want to fire burger flippers. Is say more burger flippers, more fat. Now we can assign personal trainers to those obese beings (more jobs). Not to mention doctors, nurses and dieticians. (more jobs)
ok, where will the duckie$$ come from, to pay for all these extra doctors and trainers and what have you? surely not from the american obese, 1/6 of whom cannot afford adequate health care [as it is not funded here in the land of the wageslave] as it is. what will happen [unless enough people in power wise up and grow hearts real quicklike] is that people here will simply die, and to a certain coldblooded extent, the "problem" will fix itself.

Force-feeding in Mauritania: Beauty in the eye of male beholders (link)

How do you force girls to eat?
Force-feeding, otherwise known as leblouh , is forced on girls from as young as five. Girls are sent to “fattening farms” (5) during their school holidays where they undergo hours of feeding before being told to sleep. This is done until the girl has developed wings of fat around her abdomen, arms and thighs. Stretch-marks are considered extremely beautiful and when a girl is covered in them she will easily find a husband. Mothers and grandmothers will cross sticks around the girl's ankles or toes and squeeze the ends until the girl screams, at which point food is thrown down her throat. Girls are fed anywhere up to 20 litres of milk a day, as well as copious amounts of couscous mixed with generous quantities of butter (6). If girls induce vomiting or vomit because they cannot eat anymore, they are forced to eat their vomit, so that they are less likely to vomit again. Sticks are rolled on the girl's thighs to break down the tissue in the muscle and speed up fattening. “A successful fattening process will see a 12-year-old weigh 80kg,” (7) resulting in her looking twice her age and therefore, also easier to marry off at this young age.
Mauritanians - like the rest of the world - have felt the effects of growing food prices which has resulted in women making use of other means to gain weight. Many will buy exorbitant amounts of steroids that are designed for cattle, which results in the girls putting on the “necessary” weight, however, the effects of such drugs are even more dangerous than that of force-feeding.

I was still trying to get my brain around a society that would think an 80kg 12 year old is a good thing when they threw in that stuff about force-feeding their daughters cow steroids.

It appears that Mauretanians have never heard of high-fructose corn syrup. They could learn a thing or two from the Western "food" industry.

But most people can afford antacids, laxatives, insulin, weight loss drugs, vitamin pills that are supposed to make up for nutritional deficiencies, and whatever else people buy to manage the side effects of an unhealthy diet. And of course they can afford more and more junk food and convenience food, just like junkies always find a way to pay for the next hit. Processed food is actually cheaper than real, natural food items.

These are scary predictions for sure. When I grew up I heard very often "go outside and play" so I did and I did enjoy playing outside and sometimes was very imaginative. Later on in high school I joined the swim team and jogged in the off season with the swim team. In college I went to an aerobics class on a regular basis or walked a few times per week. Exercise can be a regular habit and avoiding large portions is possible. It does often take some discipline and will power.
I like eating dark chocolate it has antioxidants
