Seriously, how is anyone dumb enough to be fat?

Funny how the population on the planet has exploded to what is now regarded as an epidemic.

I don't think you have thought this through Daniel. You seem to latch on to information without giving it a sceptical once over, and start preaching it as the only truth.

Some questions I have are, is it an epidemic in the sense that it is a disease or are we just getting better at diagnosis? Is it JUST laziness or is there some underlying factor not well explored yet? Not all weight gain is due to inactivity alone, just as not all exercise is the cure for obesity.

Remember, Zen? Funny how he went from slightly overweight to obscenely obese overnight, and I mean the literal overnight, just because WHO have to justify their existence. I think you can be guilty of putting far too much faith in science and not asking any questions regarding the science.

You seem to have yet to look at people as people.

Hmmm re-reading your references ...

380 million out of a population of 7.5 billion (?). And this is an epidemic? What the reference shouts to me is "we want money"
-To do more research
-To ensure our research facilities continue
-For this we need to scare governments that their bottom line is threatened.

Good morning Daniel.

Type 2 diabetes can also be caused by a change from a traditional diet. Seems to indicate that it is more DNA driven than anything else.

Have you seen the latest studies with Aboriginals going BACK to more traditional food? I think it was released earlier this year.

Your reports are a bit on the old side. Is there any new data?

You do realise that the researchers are questioning everything to do with diet and people. Heard that saturated fats are not the big taboo that causes obesity and heart attacks.

Not questioning the numbers Daniel, just your response to them. You seem very alarmed at very large figures. I think (as a guesstimate) we are talking about roughly 20% of the total planetary population being diabetic? I also think there has been some break throughs in how to diagnose and treat diabetes recently in the media.

In fact, I think it's the simplest solutions that are the most effective - if you're going to diet properly do this: 1. set a calorie goal, 2. eat three meals every day, 3. eat up to 3 planned snacks every day, 4. do not allow any other snacking outside of what's on your planned list, 5. either don't drink alcohol or be very well aware of the calorie count you're getting from alcohol and limit it accordingly, 6. always use low-fat milk in tea or sugar, use sweetener not sugar and drink water, diluted juice and low-cal softdrinks, don't drink juice except as part of a meal and don't drink non-diet coke/softdrink etc.

Dude, your life sucks.

Aractus are you serious or this is satire?

Why does my life suck?

Calling fatties dumb is satire, but unhealthy lifestyles (ie eating habits) and being under/over weight is a serious health problem and not a joking matter.

Why does my life suck?

Because your dietary restrictions sound like a prescription for the grave, not something to be enjoyed in our short time here. I'm always suspicious when someone's idea of healthy eating assumes I have four stomachs and chew cud. If I'm going to live to see 90, I'm not depriving myself of the simple pleasures in life just so I can see 94. I think you need perspective.

Sounds like you will soon advocate taking pussy off the menu. Seriously, how many calories does a good half hour of eating pussy impart? Have statistics on that do you?
