don't you find it funny how obesity use to be a sign of wealth not so long ago, but now the poorest in society living on a diet of junk food are the obese ones, The thin and muscular use to be the poor farmers and manual laborers, now it's the other way around.

obesity in South Africa is still considered a sign of wealth.

well thats because there used to be a ton of poor people and only a bit of the rich. If you had food, you were doing pretty good.

As a very obese 620 pound man who is very happy and has put on 400 pounds in the last nine years, I don't agree with the junk food comment. In my gaining, I avoided junk food (OK other than doughnuts, cookies and ice cream) and always ate good food usually at all you can eat places. I love to eat and always eat a lot - mostly eating until I am very full and stuffed. For me, the obesity is due only to my choice to get very fat again and be happy like when I was in high school and over 450.

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.thin-quick.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $6.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!

Poor choices of eating habits. Cheap fast food meals.
