Obesity in today's world has grown in drastic measures in the past 50 years. If everyone is so concerned about obesity why isn't anyone doing anything? The Media has been saying the same damn thing >> eat well, sleep right, exercise and all that jazz but all has failed. What can we do to help stop this growing health risk? [SIZE=1]
btw, i was really overweight throught middle school. i lost all of it during that 8th grade summer and it has really improved my self esteem and my social life. so im not saying i hate fat people or bullshizz like that, im just trying to help today's society and asking for opinions on how to help. |

pretty steven was watching MTV true life the other day, about those obese kids. pretty steven was disgusted at some of the attitudes of these kids, especially corey, the black male from houston. pretty steven is sick of americans thinking that everything should have a easy painless fix such as in this case gastric bypass surgery. pretty steven wanted to smack the shit out of corey once he said that it wasnt his fault he was fat and that he should eat 4 cheeseburgers and 2 mcflurries because after surgery everything will be fine.

SMH  Yeah, I watched that episode as well. I was also very disgusted about his attitude towards food. He didn't seem to care at all about how much he was eating because a surgery, that is life threatening, would fix it all. That's disgusting. We were talking about obesity in psychology class, and how it's extremely hard for people to lose any weight because of how they're looked at. Obviously, they do stand out and are afraid to go into a gym because of that. Then, they feel depressed and eat for comfort. Yes, sometimes it can't be helped, but there are so many things we can do now to decrease weight. But then again, there are quick fixes everywhere, like the fast food joints. I think gastric bypass surgery should only be done if it's the last aternative..not just a quick fix. edit//To all of you wonderful people, go here: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ Click demonstration, then take the test on thin/fat people. It will give you results on who you prefer. I was surprised at my results. This post has been edited by Teesa: Jan 25 2006, 07:59 PM |
