While acknowledging the average American is probably overweight, I do appreciate that we have built a country that is capable of feeding all it's people and beyond that, many people in other countries.

I do hate seeing McDonalds when I go to other countries, and all the other chain junk restaurants for that matter. I chose to eat in local restaurants, enjoying local food and the people. Last time in Rome, while visiting the Pantheon, it seemed wrong to see a McDonalds in the vicinity.

I saw a video of US shoppers on the news yesterday and it was a double whammy. Not only were so many grotesquely overweight, but the sight of them stampeding to get into a store like starving people after a loaf of bread was embarrasssing.

As much as I'd l like to blame it on simple gluttony and lack of pride, I think the processed food industry has had a hand in it also.

People were not like this 30 years ago.

That doesnt mean you should eat their share for them in their honor.

BS

Nobody forces these people to eat fast food and most if not all have mirrors so they can see whats happening to them.

One day I was getting undressed to go into the shower and looked in the mirror and saw this innertube starting to form around my waist.
I said to myself.
"Oh no this is NOT going to happen"
and simply cut down on the amount of food I ate.
Which amounted to. instead of having 2 California Burgers at lunch, and fries and a Chocolate Shake, And a slice of pie.
I cut it down to a single Cali burger and a shake.
And instead of taking the elevator where I was working at the time. I took the stairs.

Took a few days for my stomach to adjust to not having all that food.
but once it did I found the single burger and shake just as filling.
I still eat at the fasst fod joints as much as I feel like it. I just dont let it get out of hand.

As I said before. With some people it is genetics. Others because of a medical condition such as Thyroid problems.

But for the very vast majority its out of pure lazyness and gluttony. Or just not giving a damn about yourself, plain and simple.

You cant blame the fast food joints. They dont force anyone in at gunppoint
into their establishments. Nor do they force anyone to overeat when they get there. And most of these joints are offering low cal alternatives now.

No. 99% of these people have nobody to blame but themelves

A title and a descriptor, of course.

You remind me of the late Gilda Radner character on the old Satuday Night Live show. She'd go off ranting about something and after she was finished, Chevy Chase would say, "I said the processed food, not fast food."

"Oh... never mind."

Doh!
LMAO.

Still

People do it to themselves.

And how can you NOT notice you no longer fit into your clothing.

People notice but rather then say. Ut oh. These dont fit anymore. Time to shed a few pounds"

But since they are too lazy to do that
they say

"ut oh. these dont fit any more I've got to buy bigger clothes"

then they get a little bigger and the cycle repeats itself.
