That was an uncomfortable watch. Too many familiar scenes.

Hell, it was uncomfortable for me and I'm not even overweight.

Think how awkward that casting call was.

"Hey, you here for the morbidly obese 30-something too?"

    Yup. I was basically raised off of McDonalds as a kid. My grandmother constantly fed me snacks and left cookies in the house after she'd visit. She actually believes cookies are healthy. My mother feels bad about it but "I wouldn't eat anything else." Not gonna happen to my kids. I wont give up like that.

    I wasn't much of a picky eater but my little brother used to trow a huge tantrum if he had to eat healthy. Full on crying, yelling, getting agressive and trowing punches and just not eating anything. My moms solution was the same for all of us.

    If we did this my mom said fuck you, eat your food or sit here all night. Oh, still didn't eat it an hour later? I'll put it in the fridge and it is the first thing you'll ever eat again. Didn't eat by bedtime? Go to bed without food. Can't sleep because you're hungry? Well, here's your diner honey. Enjoy your cold food.

    Next day we would eat. Don't want to eat again? Same solution.

    How is your relationship with your mother? I can't tell if you are ambivalent and endorsing this method.

    [–]FearLoathingHolland 25ポイント26ポイント  (2子コメント)

    It's wonderful, couldn't ask for a better one.

    Definitely think she did well with this. We were raised really good and turned out great due to this. We were raised with a lot of freedom but there were just some rules you had to follow. Like eat your food. We all were allowed to pick one dish we never had to eat and that was it. If wanted to eat a particular food it meant we had to cook it for everyone, which we got the opportunity for once every week when we had to cook to help out with the chores and what not.

    I eat everything now, usually healthy, know how to cook and am just grateful for all of it.

    My mom told me that if I didn't want what was served (plenty of home-cooked meals) that I could make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Didn't even give me an alternative option, just a PB&J, and we didn't always even have all the fixings for it around. My siblings and I are all very UNpicky now.

          Was raised fat. Refuse to raise fat kids.

          It's very simple, and I want you to remember this and give it a try when you become a parent.

          Step 1) cook healthy food.

          Step 2) If kid refuses to eat, put food in microwave and let them go to bed hungry.

          Step 3) If kid says they're hungry at any time during the night, reheat healthy food and give it to them. THIS PART IS IMPORTANT!! Is it annoying to sit down and watch your daughter eat her dinner five hours late at 11 pm when you're trying to play video games? Yes, but it's your goddamned job to take care of your kid. Don't force them to go hungry. The option to eat their dinner needs to be there at any time. This isn't meant to be a punishment.

          Will they complain? Absolutely. Will they eat it? Most of the time. Will they grow up fat? No.

          They'll eat to live, not live to eat.

          [–]tanajerner 18ポイント19ポイント  (4子コメント)

          The only thing I would say if it kid doesn't like something you shouldn't force them to eat it. As an adult we forget how easy it is for us to pick and choose what we want by what we like, children don't get that choice.

          So when making them eat healthy find out what they like and compromise, forcing kids to eat something they don't like isn't going to do them any good.

          Also don't do the eat everything on the plate before you get down from the table ( there's starving kids in Africa blah blah) it's not healthy to force fees kids and not a good habit to eat everything put in front of you. Eat till you are full a useful tip

          [–]Etherius 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

          Oh no, if they're full I'd never force them to continue.

          As far as forcing them to eat things they don't like, that's one thing. They DO have to eat at least one vegetable per dinner and they can choose which veggie they get served. They just can't say "I don't want grilled chicken and rice, I want a hamburger".

              Plot Twist: raised eating only McDonald's salads and veggie wraps.

              Edit: the salads are perfectly healthy guys calm down, I know you all have your prejudices against mcdees but come on.

              [–]CharlieTroy 7ポイント8ポイント  (10子コメント)

              Actually a salad from Mcdonalds has more fat and calories than a mcdouble cheese burger and that's before you put the dressing on. Dressing for one serving (2 table spoons) adds 155 calores all but 15 of those from fat. Those packets contain about 4? table spoons or two servings. Most people tend to use two.

              Here's a basic graphic to sum it up: http://isitunhealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/mcdonalds-salad-worse-than-.png

              It looks like the fried chicken in there might be an issue...

              Also, fat isn't the enemy. Fat doesn't make you fat like sugar does.

              [–]jquest23 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

              I was not aware that there is only one salad choice for McDonald's. Someone's at McDonald's better wake up and give us more then one salad choice.

              [–]owattenmaker 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

              But 480 calories is a perfectly reasonable meal size.

              You have to eat some calories every day. Usually recommended 1500-2000 for a healthy adult.

              It doesn't really matter if all you eat is mcdonalds, you can lose weight eating twinkies and soda if you are dedicated enough.

                    The time on the Gamecube was wrong. I'm 27 and played SNES as a kid, and Gamecube wasn't a thing until almost high school for me. If he was playing it at 10, he'd be, at most, 24 right now.

                        Kid's first game console was an old one a parent kept in storage from before he was born. The kid likes it and asks for the newer one. Not too strange of a leap.

                              People give their kids fast-food, laden with sugar, salt, fat and stuff 'all natural kiddy-meals' and 'junk food' all the time, and don't control them.

                              It can have disastrous results, and this story needs to be told.

                                That was the most interesting part for me. The guy they used in the opening scene was morbidly obese; I wonder how he felt about the commercial knowing he was acting as part of a PSA against obesity.

                                Most fat people know that being fat isn't healthy. He was probably happy to do it if it meant he could help others.

                                He possibly felt that it could help future kids from getting like him. That's at least how I think he would feel.

                                    My dad died of a heart attack in his 50s because he was obese, and yes it started in his childhood with really shitty parents. This hit really close to home.

                                    He was an amazing guy, but if he didn't have an eating disorder we would still have him. Please, if you have an eating disorder, get some help. A lot of times it isn't something you can mentally do on your own, and at least need a support group; whether in person, a subreddit, etc.

                                    Being obese is a serious health issue, even if it is just borderline overweight to obese. You are not a lesser person if you need help and support, you are a strong person making serious steps for change.

                                    Do it for yourself, do it for your family.

                                    It hit home for me too. I'm personally doing well but my mother? She lives several states away and is all by herself and is almost 50 now. She never cooks and her freezer is full of instant meals. It's all she eats. When she visits we cook for her and we eat out as little as possible and I get her to come with me when I walk our dog but...when she gets home she just lumps around.

                                    I'm so worried for her but there's not much IO can do other then what I am doing =(

                                    If you try to fix it you will be demonized as the bad guy. Similar with my mother except she also has a home so disorganized it looks like the start of a hoarder (it isn't, I know, it's just really bad organization). It was so bad and once I said something the whole family turned on me. At least you have some family members that agree with your side.

                                      The problem with food addiction is no one wants to talk about it. Everyone wants to talk about helping addicts of heroin, or alcohol, or tobacco, but no one ever mentions the increasingly large elephant in the room that is food addiction. It's comparatively easy to help an addict kick a habit of a substance they can go their entire lives without than it is to combat an addiction to something that you literally need in order to survive. Now of course no one needs ice cream and pizza specifically to survive but when you live in a food desert with nothing but corner stores and delivery joints a pizza with ice cream is easier and cheaper than the hour round trip to the grocery store for healthy ingredients.

                                      The food industry has capitalized on this at every turn too. Sugar is a poison to our bodies yet they get to pump out 'juices' with enough added sugar to give someone diabetes and even fight regulations that would force them to specify just how much sugar they are adding. Refined carbohydrates like those 'heart healthy whole grains' they've been pushing since they invented the food pyramid to tell people to eat more of it are a big contributing factor too. It's no coincidence that heart disease and obesity started becoming epidemic problems just after those policies were implemented in the FDA. Food can be advertised almost everywhere so people with addictive personalities are sucked in buying and eating stuff that's killing them. Corn subsidies and other handouts from the government have made it so that getting a burger from McDonalds is cheaper and easier than getting a salad from a supermarket. The system has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of the fact that these food companies can get people addicted to sugar-filled and caloric-dense foods and no one will stop them at all because food is something everyone needs to eat.

                                      I'm not trying to say that everyone who is obese or suffers from food addiction is only in that position because they are being manipulated by Big Food into being unhealthy but if we are going to start holding people accountable for the obesity epidemic it can't just be pointing fingers at fat people. Let's point some fingers at the multi-billionaires who made their money on the backs of people suffering with food addiction or stuck in food deserts and prevent them from enabling such unhealthy eating disorders in the first place.

                                        Yeah. My parents would always make healthy homemade meals when I was a kid. They were boring as shit (plain hamburgers, no bread with vegetables. Plain chicken with vegetables. sometimes spaghetti etc). Eating out was like a fucking event. It just never happened. But I will say I'm fucking glad they took the time to make healthy meals for me. I remember going to my best friends house and they constantly ate out. It was unreal to me.

                                        Oh. On a side note, I watched a lot of bugs bunny when I was little. He got me into eating carrots. I'd sit down and watch looney toons with a carrot in hand. I ate so many carrots. So many. Plus I do distinctly remember a lot of positive reinforcement for my eating good food. It made me want to show off to my parents by eating more healthy food. Of course everyone outside of my family teased me about it. 'here comes mr health nut with some celery and carrots'.

                                        It's actually kind of interesting how people tend to poke and prod a person with healthy eating habits. Probably because seeing someone eat healthy makes them feel guilty.

                                        You can eat healthy and tasty, and that's where many parents go wrong. They mean well, but stick to simple meat and potatoes type recipes that are bland as can be, because they think that's what kids will eat.

                                        Most kids will eat just about anything if you slowly introduce things properly. It's not hard to get a kid to the point that fast food tastes no better than anything they eat at home, just different.

                                        Oh yeah. The food they made was tasty. Just bland in comparison to what you get most anywhere else. I didn't really go into detail because it's hard to remember everything down to the letter ya know?

                                        And that's another thing. I wasn't deprived of having sweet treats. They were more a rare treat. My parents weren't monsters.

                                        I think the point he was making is that healthy food never has to be more bland than unhealthy food. Knowing how to use salt, pepper, herbs, and your healthy fats and acids correctly can make even asparagus or Brussel sprouts taste freaking fantastic. It's just more work than buying McD haha

I was taking classes for college at the same time, and trying to create healthier eating habits by eating almost entirely fruits and vegetables at work. Reading and eating vegetables are two things no one should ever be made fun of for. Granted, I'm old enough to not be too bothered by it, but it was still hard to work there when everyone was against you because you want to be healthy and happy.

                                            Really good actually. Though I'm pretty sure the carrots=good vision is a myth. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

                                            But I guess on the topic of vision at night....I can see everything just fine, often times clear as day...but at the same time I get distracted by all the lights in major cities when I'm driving. Having ADD makes this worse.

                                            I read in one of those "What fact is actually a lie" threads that the myth of carrots producing good vision was actually a cover-up fabricated by the British in WWII to hide the fact that they had developed night-vision radar, or something along those lines. And somehow it stuck.

                                            Well vitamin K does lend itself to better eyesight but yeah not to the degree that the UK gov were saying. I remember reading it was because they had to ration out food for the troops and they had boatloads of carrots so they propagandized the food to make it more appealing.

                                              Yeah it was a myth started in WWII by the English. They wanted to cover up the advent of radar and lead the Germans to believe that the English forces were just good at spotting aircraft from far away. I think I'm remembering it correctly, but I'm too lazy to source.

                                                  Literally the same story of my childhood. Mom also had a garden and we'd constantly have canned goods and fresh fruit/veggies. Never appreciated it as much as I do today. My mom always had dinner at night and breakfast on the weekend. I think the first time I ate McDonald's I was 12.

                                                  Honestly, being a vegetarian, people are consistently trying to challenge why you don't eat meat; and this is the majority of the time that you tell people you're a vegetarian. I think it just challenges the status quo or the majority view and there's a slight insecurity about it so a lot of people try and undermine your position.

                                                    Grew up a "big kid", was a "big guy" into college, family of "big people" who don't acknowledge they're "big". Got fed up one day, and it just clicked: eat X calories per day, and you can't get/be fat because your body cannot store energy if energy wasn't provided for storage. Exercise and eat right. Dropped 60lbs in about 6 months. Still a bit flabby, and I've got an 8 month old, so got the Dadbod going on right now. That being said, I'm mega conscious about sugar intake and activity in my son. He's got my genes. Don't want him to grow up thinking he's born to be a "big guy". He's got my build, but I want him to know he can be whatever kind of guy he wants to be.

                                                    I was you. Always big then really got obese in high school/college. At the beginning of the year when I started counting calories and realize I could love running and working out everything changed. It became so easy once I had built good habits. I still have work to do to get to my goal weight but I see no reason I won't get there now that the habits are built. Giving your son those good habits from the beginning is one of the most valuable things you can give him for his future quality of life. You're awesome.

                                                    I'm the opposite. I was super skinny (6'3", 115 when I graduated college) and always hated fat folks. I ate trash, drank soda, etc, super unhealthy diet.

                                                    Around 28, my wife cheated on me, my best friend died in a car accident, I lost my job, etc, all in the span of a year. My metabolism died and in 2 years I literally doubled in weight, with no other changes to my lifestyle. When I was 46, I weighed 380 lbs, diagnosed borderline diabetes, and was miserable.

                                                    I then came to the same conclusion you did. Now I'm 50 and weight 230 and am still dropping weight. I run 5 miles a day (minimum) and control my diet. I hate every second of it, I hate dieting, I hate exercise, I hate nasty healthy food, but I'm healthier than I've been in 20 years. Half the time I do it out of spite, honestly, because I never want to feel like that again.

I've been working on my health for the past two years, lost over a hundred pounds; it all starts with me and his Mom. We can't fail, because unhealthy habits and weight issues have been a real problem for the both of us, and I fear it'll be hereditary.

                                                        My hubby and I are both health professionals so anytime we see stuff like "fed up" we check it out to see what it says/if it's accurate/if there is a slant. It was pretty good.

                                                        Remember it's the sugar/fast releasing carbs that are the problem, usually. A dietician I worked with put it well, "I refuse to drink my calories". Every time I reach for a calorie laden drink, that isn't milk, I say this to myself. Now cola tastes a little funny to me and juice is just too darn sweet. Even some yogurt is too sweet for me! (Now, the pasta and rice are more of a challenge to give up..)

                                                        Good luck kicking cola for good, it's tough, but worth it!

                                                        I can't remember precisely when I quit drinking soda, but it was many years ago. Cola is, now, for me, utterly repulsive.

                                                        Soda can be nice, of course, like a version of a black cherry soda, or a ginger beer, something like that. But very, very rarely (and not the whole bottle).

While 32 is still a rare heart attack age, I'm considering it in younger and younger patients when they present to the ER. We investigate chest pain in a lot more 40+ year-olds than we used to, and are seeing the middle/late age problems such as diabetes, joint problems, etc in progressively younger people. It's killing us, and in a very costly way.

                                                                Teaching proper diet and exercise at schools, and doing what ever can be done to push that education to the homes and families so they don't undermine, intentionally or accidentally, the children's future.

                                                                Even if there was a case for genetic pre-disposition for obesity, thats not an excuse to do nothing about it and abandon a person to obesity and health issues, it's all the more reason to work harder with such a person to help them lose weight and keep it off.

People who love and respect their bodies will take better care of themselves and will also eat better. Body shaming won't get us anywhere.

                                                                              [–]-Themis- 42ポイント43ポイント  (10子コメント)

It doesn't say and was never meant to say "you're healthy no matter how shitty your habits & how bad your health actually is." It's meant to say "be active & eat healthy foods & feel good about yourself, and stop obsessing about weight." There are plenty of skinny people whose metabolic health is shitty, because they have shit habits.

                                                                              Which is not to say that some people don't try to do the "but fat is awesome!" bullshit. But they are a tiny minority. Most people are closer to the "treat people like human beings regardless of their weight" view point.

                                                                              [–]inmapjs 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

It really does change the perspective and makes much more sense than the "your body can be healthy at every size even with no healthy habits" concept I was thinking about. Thank you for explaining it! Sadly, I think a lot of people (those for and against HAES) interpret the concept the same way I did.

                                                                                  Being happy with the body you have doesn't mean you don't think there's room for improvement.

                                                                                  I mean, if you had $100,000 in the bank, you'd probably be happy, right? But you'd also want to turn that into $1,000,000; right?

It means "get as healthy as possible and your weight will go down." Be healthier at 300 than you were at 350. Be healthier at 275 than you were at 300.

                                                                                  Reddit: upvoting HAES hatred and inventing the concept of HAES in the same thread.

They don't think it's awesome that they're overweight. They want to lose weight for the most part. Some have a defensive attitude and might claim they're healthy/fine, but your undirected rage isn't helping that.

                                                                                    It's very obvious when somebody like you just has an unsophisticated mentality and distills everything down to a way to hate fat people. You automatically act like all fat people are indefensible, which is such a simplistic, ignorant opinion that it could only come from somebody who isn't particularly good at thinking.

                                                                                    Being "considerate" doesn't necessarily mean unconditional niceness. It means considering the situation and being able to empathize and understand what's going on. If you capable of that you'd realize that what you are doing is no different from yelling at people for having mental illnesses. And if you're fine with that, you should just accept it when somebody tells you to fuck off and die for being a sociopath.

                                                                                    [–]mvolkovin 27ポイント28ポイント  (0子コメント)

The fact that the top comment was something hateful towards fat people is bad. Why is there so much empathy for drug users and the outcry to treat it like a medical condition when we as a group just throw fat people under the bus. It's the only group of people left in this country where it is ok to publicly hate/shame them. We have all this pent up rage because we're always monitoring our language to be PC and so it comes out here in an ugly way. I also feel there are some scary implications with this attitude as well. With gov't mandated healthcare I could EASILY see how we might feel right and justified in taking away benefits and forcing certain diets on people on this basis. It wouldn't be wrong to think that way either because with the system in place now they are in fact a strain on public resources.

                                                                                    Let people speak their minds if that's what they feel.

                                                                                        clarification: I hate fat activists, not fat people. there's a difference between being a regular but pudgy person, and being a person who makes fat activism their cause and taking it upon themselves to spread pseudoscience at every opportunity.

I don't care if you weigh 600 pounds and haven't seen your toes in 7 years. None of that bothers me at all. But when you start telling me you can't lose weight for whatever reason, be it a thyroid condition, be it that everybody is different and some people hold onto weight more than others, or whatever, that's when I just stop all conversations about health and fitness. Because you literally have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

I also have hypothyroidism and take the same meds they do. One of us however eats 2000 calories a day, and the other eats 4000. One of us is fat and one isn't. but it's easier to blame meds than take ownership of your shitty diet.

Yes, obese "fat activists" have little appreciated of the science underpinning obesity. But similarly, as a researcher of molecular and epigenetic mechanism predisposing to obesity, many people decrying their obesity have not heard or refuse to recognise the public health research which lays the blame for the obesity epidemic at the doorstep of our obesogenic environments, and ultimately globalisation and mechanisation of our world.

                                                                                          I challenge anyone to find an academic paper which argues willpower and life choices are the driving factor in this. Popular discussion targets the symptom, not the cause.

I'm a fat fuck and I tend to ridicule those who are overweight and don't try to lose weight, but say that they're fine. No. You're not. You're going to die early. I'm not okay with that which is why I try (and succeed) to lose weight. I've lost 200lbs in the past 2-3 years. I had fucked up my ankle so many times and just got overwhelmingly depressed that weight ballooned. I've had many people tell me to not push myself, or that being fat is fine and to just accept it. Fucking no. I am not going to die because I've got fucking tits. And I'm sure as hell not going to respect you if you want to continue destroying your life, but defend that action.

                                                                                              You don't accept Alcoholics saying that they'll be fine.

                                                                                              You don't accept heroin addicts saying they'll be fine.

                                                                                              Why the shit would you accept fat people who are putting them in a situation to make themselves worse? You shouldn't. It's self-destructive behavior and if you truly care about someone you shouldn't fucking let them slip into a state where they will only get worse and worse and die young.

When you're overweight it's HARD to get thin, and pressure from society doesn't help it just makes it worse. Discrimination about it does exist as well. So I can see where they wanted to come from but....it's instead turning into "being fat is perfectly healthy!" thing and no...just no.

                                                                                                          They SHOULD be saying don't lose weight because you want to look good, lose weight because you want to be healthy. It's a MUCH better mentality.

I was 330lbs at the time. in the 90s my grandfather had a heart attack at age 60. I just had a fear that I would end up dead early and not enjoy my family and kids. Plus when I could not run around and play with them really helped me change. Fast forward 3 years and my father had a heart attack as well. Helped reinforce my healthy eating and physcial habits. My life was exactly like that commercial. I ate taco bell almost at every lunch, with a large coke. Ate out all the time and unhealthy options and portions. Now I feel better and can keep up with anything. Did the hike in Kauai on the northern trail (Kalalau Trail) without hardly breaking a sweat. Waking heart rate is now at 40

                                                                                                            My childhood eating habits consisted of coke all day, a whole bag of funyuns while playing console games, and big lunches and dinners. Then going to grandparents house on the farm was like thanksgiving every weekend. I could not tell the difference in thanksgiving and a weekend at grandmas. 4 different pies to choose from and a huge table of food.

It's a combination of eating shit and not exercising for years. Playing video games after hitting the gym is perfectly fine, ordering your favorite unhealthy meal once a week is fine. But you can't eat shit everyday, and your body needs to move.

It reinforces the backwards passage of time as well as showing that he's not exercising in his spare time. I saw the usage of the controllers as rather brilliant as it was a much more personal touch to the generic birthday cakes and other cuts but that's just me.

I give my 18 month old daughter fries sometimes...but I also give her carrots, and broccoli, and fresh blueberries. Despite the fact that we share chicken nuggets and hot dogs, her favorite food is bananas. Just keep it balanced and you'll be good to go.

                                                                                                                  My parents were, for the most part, good parents. They kept a roof over our heads, disciplined us, and made sure we never went hungry. Unfortunately, their way of doing the latter often involved a lot of fast food, boxed dinners, and frozen foods (chicken nuggets, corn dogs, pizzas, etc.)

                                                                                                                  By the time I was 12, I had developed a heavy dependency on these foods. To be fair, my parents were slightly overweight at the time too, so that was just the way of life. As a result, I was quickly pushing 190 lbs at 5'4. According to the BMI chart, I was obese, and it played heavily into me being anti-social and having terrible self-confidence.

                                                                                                                  8th grade year, I finally decided enough was enough. This was during the whole Subway fad, so I started eating a lot of low-cal sandwiches instead of fast food. I'd eat Lean Cuisines instead of chicken nuggets or pizza. I started to learn to cook my own healthier meals. I also starved myself way more than I should have. This, coupled with a growth spurt, had me down to a "normal" 5'10 and 140 by Freshman year. It worked, but it probably wasn't the healthiest year my body has ever been through.

                                                                                                                  These days, I still struggle with my body image, despite the fact that I am pretty slim and athletic, hit the gym 3-5 days a week, and participate in sports. I've pretty much cut out fast food, but if I don't keep a beat on my diet, I can easily fall into the trap of eating anything and everything that is unhealthy for me, and next thing I know, I'll have packed on 10-15 lbs in a blink. Those old habits are still hiding in there, somewhere, and they still like to be fed on occasion (pun intended).

                                                                                                                  I don't blame my parents for this...they were just keeping us fed the best way they knew how. But I also know that my story isn't entirely uncommon these days, because the food that is cheap, convenient, and tasty is often the worst stuff for you.

                                                                                                                  [–]FU-allthetime 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

                                                                                                                  Sometimes your parents are right. Sometimes they aren't.

                                                                                                                  The kid who eats broccoli every day for 18 years and binges on pizza for the next 20 is just as much to blame for circumstances as the happy meal kid who decides to get fit and work out.

The habits of the parents are EXTREMLY important and of course they carry over to the children, but blaming it 100% on parents and their habits (I know thats not what you did, but with the "doomed" it kind of implied it seems too... convienient.

                                                                                                                      Everybody can make a change, and when we blame the parents (again, even though they play a big part) it makes it easy for people to go "yeah, I'm obese, but it's my parents fault, nothing i can do about it, oh well"

                                                                                                                      [–]fish024 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It just doesn't compute.

That's how I lost all my weight while still watching TV. Every second you are running you can be watching TV (at least if you can afford the machine). And every second you are lifting you can listen to music.

We know obesity is a problem, anyone that is not willfully ignorant knows it. I wish people would stop shining a light on these outball minorities, it's not helping anyone and acknowledging them is diverting the conversation from solutions to finger-pointing.

It's the way our cities and lifestyles are designed. It's the automobile. It's driving. It's the American suburban sprawl. Americans drive to work, school, eat, shop, entertainment, etc. People in Europe and Asia walk. Americans walk an average of 2000~4000 steps per day. People in Europe and Asia walk 9000~10,000 steps per day. Yes, quantity wise Americans do eat much more, but in terms of food quality, there's a ton of unhealthy fatty shit in Europe and Asia too. There are reasons beyond diet and poor choices as to why people in America are fat and why people in Europe/Asia are healthier.

                                                                                                                          Americans just don't fucking walk. Walking might seem like so little, but when you do a lot of if everyday, it makes the biggest difference. Unfortunately it's a massive issue that no one talks about.

                                                                                                                          I suggest people check out Mick Cornett: How an obese town lost a million pounds and or The walkable city by Jeff Speck.

That mother should be locked up for doing that to her kid." ... You see it all the time. People will make fun of fat people, but feel sorry for the fat child because he never had a chance. I always think ... so when is it okay to make fun of the fat child? When he turns 18? Is that when his obesity is clearly his fault and no longer his parents'? It isn't that simple, is it? It's something we all should think about. When you see an adult that's 300+ lbs and you feel contempt for their very existence, realize that they were almost certainly a fat child. And just because your parents were responsible enough to teach you proper eating habits, doesn't mean everyone else had the same luxury. I'm not excusing people for decades of poor health choices, I'm just pointing out that there is a reason for this sort of thing, and it typically goes far beyond 'laziness.'

My daughter is just over a year and ears way healthier than her older brother because she'll eat anything we put in front of her. My 3 year old son is a fight to get to eat. We try to make sure he's eating well but sometime in the video it's just easier to get to eat shitty food. I'm headed over to this website now. Commercial worked on me

This scares me. Like I said, he's 15 years old and clothing stores DO NOT carry size 46's. Please don't let this be your child, please, please, please... :(

I don't care what you do to YOU, but don't encourage our son. So far past the point now.
