To whomever it may Concern,
Right now I am looking at Obesity Statistics,( Obesity by country)by that I mean the total percentage of a population of which is suffering from the Health condition which in layman’s terms means, really really really fat. This is not the people who have a naturally large girth, nor the people who say, it’s all genetic, it is people who may or may not have had a pre-existing condition to make themselves bigger, people who in addition to all sorts of outside causes, may it be genetics, mental conditions (depression being the first one that springs to mind) or just a love of food, have become so FAT that it is severely impeding on their physical health and well being.
I am not going to get started on the health of tiny people, anorexia, bulimia, all other eating disorders, because there is not a well publicised and generally accepted bulimia epidemic, pro-ana is looked down upon generally by those with common sense. Obesity is in need of a serious strategy, and I am very much aware of how many governments are making a serious effort to tackle it, the consideration of taxing fast food, is not a bad one, perhaps it will encourage the poorer of the obese, or those nearing it, to try and cook their foods. But then again, the lazier of us would definitely put a higher dollar value on the effortlessness of McDonald’s, or KFC (eww), and would pay the small tax. Or Perhaps the drive through’s should have a mandatory levy, if you are going to stuff your face, why not burn off maybe one of the calories you’ve earnt by going in and standing for a short while.
I think that society needs to change if we want to see people changing, we need to be more accepting of those willing, or trying to change. Stop abusing (fat) people walking as we damage the ozone as we speed along in commodores that probably are the reason people look at you with that look often called jealousy by the recipients, though in truth it is disdain. Be more of a judge on those obese persons going around shopping centres on gophers, I am sure that isn’t helping your weight problem. Instead of pro skinny, or pro fat, we need pro Health.
Make Gym’s the place to go again. Look into nano-foods. Stop accepting that for some people it is just too hard. Maybe legislate something to give more Gastric Bypass for the ones who need it, it will make their consumption smaller, that and give them a new lease on life. Walk groups would be fantastic, especially if the members were not so preppy about how good they are because they walk and are maintaining a healthy lifestyle so they can keep THEIR man happy while he earns them the money to do all the hard work or hiring house cleaners.
Fast food places, not the health groups, they should be the ones who intimidate those larger persons. Health groups, be friendlier, stop offering those delicious cakes you get ‘points’ for eating. People please, just be mean when it is appropriate.
