(NaturalNews) The number of extremely obese adults has quadrupled since the 1980`s to about 4 million. That works out to about 1 in every 50 adults. The original theory was that extreme obesity was a rare condition; this has changed to the realization that overeating and under-activity is the single most contributing factor to obesity. Unfortunately, along with obesity come diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, and a decreased life span.
By "super sizing the fries", with Outback`s Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing complete with 2,900 calories and 1,638 coming from fat, you get enormous amounts of cholesterol to kill anything that`s ever lived. A "Six Meat Pizza" with extra cheese, cholesterol and heart disease accompanied by a 7-11 "Big Gulp" 500 calorie drink, containing 46 teaspoons of sugar to keep a person up for days, creates this epidemic not only plaguing adults but creating the same problem in teens and pre-teens.
We invent bathroom scales that go to 1000 pounds, build wider and reinforced caskets, invent sponges on a stick so fat people can scrub the hard-to-reach subdivisions of their bodies, invent devices to help obese people put on their socks, super size bath towels, redesign car seats and push the steering wheel further forward to accommodate humongous bellies.
We kill ourselves with fat, chemicals, hormones, and gluttony. Statistics show over 50% of adults overweight, over 30% obese, huge increases in fat children, cancer rates escalating, diabetes skyrocketing, ligament problems, organ failure, tumors, impotence, infertility, bad breath, constipation and a thousand other related ailments - all coupled with a massive wave of Prozac-slammed anxiety and depression like a never ending sitcom from hell. This is a dream come true for the pharmaceutical industry. Hey, when all else fails, take a pill!
We are enormously addicted - worse than heroin, coffee, or porn - to an enormous array of garbage foods, known as legal poisons and industrial additives. What we are fed as children contain so many chemicals and toxins, that they actually cause debilitating weight-gain illness in healthy adults who exercise like crazy and eat like birds.
People in the "food" business are there to make money! Produce it cheap, sell it high. But what happens when these businesses create chemicals added to the food that makes a person eat more? The bottom line then becomes increased sales and increased profits, all at the expense of your health.
Until there`s a huge cultural shift and a massive change in the educational system (coupled with an enormous global class action lawsuit against the impotent FDA, McDonald`s, KFC, Monsanto, Con Agra, Iowa Beef Packers, the Dairy Board, the National Cattleman`s Association and all the rest who cram rBGH, animal feces, hunger inducers, and deadly bacteria into your frozen, liquefied, microwaveable, wax-coated, pre-browned, beef/chicken/cheese-nugget dinner), you have only you to account for.
All these pounds, diseases, and complications are reversible by sanity, sense control, and a change of diet. Eliminate dairy and all forms of flesh foods. Eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and plenty of unfluoridated water. Stay away from GMOs, soda, processed foods and fast foods, and get started on a regular exercise program, no matter how simple.
Only you can change you. Take control of your life and take it out of the hands of a food industry that simply works hard to addict you, make you eat more, and provide you with chemical laden things they call food.
Your life depends upon it!
