    Notice the American woman seated in-front of the morbidly obese woman is not obese.

    Obesity is rising at an alarming rate throughout Europe. It forms a pan-
    European epidemic that presents a major barrier to the prevention of chronic
    non-communicable diseases. At least 135 million EU citizens are affected
    and perhaps another 70 million in those countries seeking to join. In many
    countries now significantly more than half the adult population is overweight
    and up to 30% of adults are clinically obese. The prevalence among children
    is rising significantly with as many as one in four affected in some regions.

    Obesity is a serious problem that isn't solely diet.

    Take a look at this diagram
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PPAR-diagram.png

    This shows part of the complex system at work in storing and using adipose tissue (Fat). If any of these things do not work properly, you get problems.

    From the main article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome_proliferator-activated_receptor

    Syndrome X, Metabolic Syndrome; Insulin Deficiency

    I strongly recommend that lecture series.

    In the news yesterday:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/01/AR2007070100431.html

    Scientists reported yesterday that they have uncovered a biological switch by which stress can promote obesity, a discovery that could help explain the world's growing weight problem and lead to new ways to melt flab and manipulate fat for cosmetic purposes.

    The full article goes on to explain new therapies in development, pills that melt fat by introducing hormones to the muscle tissue, probably PPAR-Delta (per the lecture series).

    you can bash bush all you want, and I'll even call you a good american for doing so.

    but this thread is clearly a "Very accurate presentation" as you say, that america is fat and gross while europe is skinny and beautiful.

    you have already been owned by ahminus, so my work is done here.

    good work!!

    Good. Very good. I saw one of the most gigantic women I've ever seen in person today. Words cant describe. I would have to estimate around 600+ lbs for about 5' 6".

    I just can't imagine anyone being able to eat that much food in order to maintain that amount of body fat. Honestly I don't think there is enough time in the day to process the amount of food required to do that to oneself.

    That being said...laziness, with high stress jobs/lifestyles, combined with high calorie diets are epidemic.

    Jesus. Ahnimus, I love your posts. You're a goddamn walking encyclopedia. I'm serious, you use more references than anyone else that I've noticed. How do you get away with spending so much time on research?

    The body also goes into hybernation mode if a person eats and does not exercise. This is the start of a serious rut, where the person may feel lazy all the time and not want to do anything. It's entirely metabolic, kick started by modern culture.

    I eat one meal a day and I'm high on the BMI. Not obese, but overweight for sure.

    I can't even do a sinkful of dishes without getting burned out and have to take a nap. I'm trying to break the cycle, but it's not an easy task.

    Well, the interesting thing is it often doesn't take as much food as you think. And sometimes not as many calories as you think either. Once someone is overweight or obese, they certainly don't have to maintain the same eating habits that got them there in order to stay overweight or obese. They just have to eat as many calories as they're burning and they'll maintain their weight.

    I've started a diet based mostly on eating fruits and vegetables. Not strictly though, not even close. But I used this site to calculate how many calories I really should be eating. And even eating 100 calories less per day really makes a difference. And it's a healthy way to lose weight and keep it off. My sister's been doing this for about a year and has lost 25 lbs and kept it off. http://caloriesperhour.com/

    What foods are you eating? I've read that numerous small meals a day is healthier than one or two large meals.

    All bad foods, it's a vicious cycle of eating crap food that makes me lazy and not having the energy to cook and clean healthy meals.

    I understand completely. I generally eat lunch and dinner. But snack on something somewhat healthy before then. Usually sunflower seeds at my desk or carrot sticks. I'm no example though. I'm overweight but working on it. I don't exercise much and my laziness has made me choose to eat healthier rather than exercising more. You're right about the crap food though. Once I started eating more veggies and less burgers I noticed right away that I felt ten times better. And now whenever I do eat fast food, especially greasy food I can tell right away what a mistake it was by how it makes me feel physically.
