The Land of the Fat


Obesity was a rare condition in the 60s and 70s. Fat people were confined to carnival sideshows, yet in 2010 nearly half of America is extremely overweight. Fat people are everywhere and new studies have suggested that hanging around fat people can lead to increased weight. At 6 feet tall and 195 pounds I am at the high end of the BMI or Body Mass Index. I don't eat with fat people. Not that I don't like them, but I have rejected the kind of processed food on which they depend.

No potato chips. No soda. No candy.

Not no never, but no almost never.

No one in government is willing to speak about the true cause of obesity. Overeating is a warning symptom that the food industry has debased the nutrients in their products. People eat more because the food they eat doesn't offer enough nourishment.

Potato chips are not food.

42% is not far from 50% of the nation.

This holiday season could achieve that goal.

USA # 1.
