I haven't seen a post on this subject so i decided to post it. What do you believe is the number one reason why obesity and/or child obesity are rising? What do you think this country can do to prevent increasing obesity? Do you believe with the advancement of technology to make things "easier" will have a direct effect on our obesity count?

yes, i think it will ahve a direct effect on our obesity level.
I think the main reason why america has a high obesity percentage is probably because of all this junk food and crap we have, and how easy everythin is to do. I mean, look at Korea for instance. Yes, there are som obese people, but the majority are not even that obese since they have to walk to go to the grocery, or walk to school, or exercise like crazy in P.E. Also, students have to walk to the library like practically everyday and study till like 11:00 while as american kids would prolly be eating midnight snacks and playing video games. While a lot of students have to walk to the library or PC place (dunno what its called) to have access to a computer, everyone here just had to wlak to their room and turn it on. heck, they can even bring food in their room and eat, drink, watch a movie, and chat at the same time. Also, america has a lot of cars compared to some other countries... and it makes everything more convienient. I mean... in an effort to make things easier, we have also made things harder... if you get what i mean. Just my input. |
