boy is that the truth. I am fast becoming one of the statistics, if I don't get up from this keyboard and get busy! lol
In a world where half of it is starving to death we in America are having problems with hypogylcemia because we have too much good tasting food, and too many gadgets to keep us entertained instead of exerciseing. Kids are coming home to empty houses and are not allowed outside till someone comes home from work and so it is dark, no exercise and they snack until someone brings home a bucket of something or they call pizza delivery.

Yes it sure is. When an eight year old weighs as much as an eighteen year old, there is an epidemic. Or when an adult has to ride around in a Wal-mart because they would be too winded to walk around the store, there is an epidemic.

Yes. I think there are many contributing factors to this, including better entertainment venues, less "labor" in the labor force, more work hours, need for meals that are prepared faster and probably the worse culprit: fast food restaurants. Chief among them is McDonald's, which has fed Americans with so much processed and addictive fat that people become hopelessly overweight.

Well I guess it could be said to be contagious, metaphorically, since the more obese people you're surrounded by, the more favorably you compare yourself to them, so the more you let yourself slide. On the other hand, they could be incentive to not do so. But I think the first effect is more pronounced

Yes because all food is now processed and very little naturally grown food goes straight to the wealthy.
I watched the Bugs Bunny episodes where they travel through the tomato processing plant.

Yes, it is a troubling health concern and issue plaguing many in the adult and child population, and the situation is only getting worse. The problem stems from lack of education and proper dietary guidelines.

Yep, because it can lead to heart diseases, diabetes, and a whole slew of other things. THEN we'll have ourselves an epidemic of heart diseases, and diabetes.
