What can I, a thin American, do to cut down on the obesity epidemic in this country?

Question

Its really disgusting and from what I hear, within the next 20 years most people are going to be overweight. Don't these people care about their health and appearance? Should I protest at McDonald's?

Answer 1

I dunno, try to Yell at people that stuff their chubby kids full of fast food. ( like my sister in law)

But hey its America. We are so stuck up and ignorant that we FEAST every turkey day to celebrate how we stole this land from the native Americans. While other countries don't even have clean water.

Be proud to be American and have enough money to stay nice and plump :)

Answer 2

What do you mean in the next 20 years?? Have you looked around recently? I have seen some people who are so fat they have to walk through doors sideways!! It is disgusting how ignorant and lazy some people are when it comes to food and nutrition. I see them at the store buying cookies and full fat milk and donuts and cakes and white bread and then a case of DIET coke! Oh yeah like that's gonna help.

I think all fast food should be banned from advertising on TV and radio and billboards then it becomes something that a person has to choose rather than having it rammed down your throat...literally.

Read Morgan Suprlock's book - "Don't Eat This Book" and you will be even more disgusted with the state of the food industry.

America - get out of your car and eat some fruit and veg. once in a while huh!?

Answer 3

Well you could check fat peoples carts and ask them if they really think that box of twinkies is a good idea.
The people who are so fat they have to use the powered wheelchairs - you could let them know that a little bit of exercise will help.
Yeah I don't kow, I am not skinny, but not hugely obese either. People just need to limit their intake and eat healthier. Protesting at McDonalds won't really do anything.
Start talking to young kids in school. Schools have started limiting the junk food. For holiday Parties parents have to bring healthy snacks. in a couple years the states are going to make it mandatory.

Answer 4

Ever heard 'Don't kill the messenger'? McDonalds is not the problem. People just don't have healthy eating habits. The way Americans eat is 80% processed food or food from powder, loaded with chemicals and conservants, and it all accumulates in our bodies over the time. Frankly speaking, I'm surprised we don't glow in the dark.

Answer 5

Encourage people who are overweight to do something about it...that they will look better, feel better and probably live longer. It's just gonna get worse as they age. My son encouraged me to do something (he's a personal trainer) and I have lost 36 lbs. since May, eating better and joining a health club. I look better, feel better and will most likely will live longer...

Answer 6

Over weight. What like so big you have to use a mobile wheel chair to get around, or so big you might have a little junk in the trunk and a tummy roll, they are two very different things to me.

Answer 7

I just had a McDonalds happy meal for lunch so I could get the Shrek the Third toy for my nephew! Sorry, doesn't really answer your question....

Answer 10

You should go to a thin country and this way you wont be disgusted. Or you should eat more so you can fit in with us. Or you should just let people eat what they want.
