When it comes to the causes of obesity in America I must tell you about a podcast I just listened to on JRT podcast now let me tell you this is definitely not for the faint hearted and for those of you who are easily offended as it is very blunt and hard hitting but so much of what they said sadly rang true.

In essence it was saying America your life style is killing you!

Now I want you to be honest with yourself if and when you listen to it and tell me it isn’t true.

So let me summarize for those of you who are not going to listen to the podcast (this may be a very hard to hear and

I will upset you

but it is important that to understand the situation as it is

only then

will we accept the harsh and unforgiving truth!)

America your life style is killing you!

They state in the podcast quite correctly that obesity is a personal choice no one is forcing anyone to eat too much and not to exercise it is your personal choice the same as drinking, smoking and even your choice of religion they are down to you.

So why do we refer to something that is self inflicted as an epidemic as is the case with the so called ‘obesity epidemic’ ?.

Most people quite rightly think of an epidemic as a disease such as Small Pox and Typhoid. However
suprisingly the actual definition of an epidemic is “something which is prevalent amongst a large proportion of the population” which obesity certainly is with more of the US population obese than ever before.

So using that literal definition obesity is correctly referred to as an epidemic but it is NOT a disease as we like to think and some reports mislead us into believing.

It is my honest belief…

By calling obesity an epidemic we are giving most people an opportunity to abdicate responsibility and say things like…

” I am only obese because of the fast food companies”

or

” I am only obese because I can’t afford the cost of gym membership”.

.. etc

Now lets get real here unless you have a medical condition and even if you are genetically disposed to be obese (which some doctors claim) you still have been given a choice to eat the right foods and do some form of exercise every day.

Has genetics only applied for the the past 40 years…of course not!

It doesn’t matter what race, creed or color you are those are two facts which can’t be disputed.

Now I am know this is going to leave some people feeling annoyed or offended but I will tell you the two biggest reasons most Americans and much of the western world are obsese is they eat a whole bunch of junk and are just lazy (they want everything done for them with as little effort as possible).

People no longer have to go find their food or grow it to survive.In fact they don’t even have to leave home as someone will bring food to their door ordered from a computer or phone. Also few people walk any where most people get a bus, take the subway in busy cities and those that can afford a car drive everywhere even a couple of blocks.

Typical Americans drive to the fast food store to buy junk food, which we either take home throw in a microwave or we eat a bunch of fat laden food at a junk food restaurant and then we then drive back home switch on the TV with a remote control and then sit on our butts and don’t move except to eat more, drink or go to bed.

Come on America Wake Up Your Life Style Is Killing YOU!!

That’s the real cause of obesity I will be investigating this further so if you want to know more stay tuned in the meantime enjoy the Podcast.
