Canadians and Americans are so fat because we drive everywhere (don't use bikes or walk everywhere like Europe and Asia), too much salt, msg, saturated fats, transfats, too much tv watching, and worse of all, we're always on the internet (most wired countries on the planet).

PS. I have absolutely NO sympathy for people who are obese. I hear all this talk about "genetic problems" and "hereditary problems" and then I see people who are in wheelchairs because of their weight, stuffing their faces at the Mandarin. Or better still, FAT people eating in their cars in the parking lot of McDonald's. DISGUSTING and wasting tax dollars to help then with their "health problem" which is really just an incapability of controlling their revolting gluttony. GROSS. |
Okay while it is true that some people are extremely fat because of gluttony, you have to understand that some of the people who are obese and over-eat are that way because eating for them is a coping mechanism. I read a study not long ago that proved that eating can be addictive. The gist of it (that i can remember) is that when we eat, we produce dopamine - the neurotransmitter that, among other things, allows us to experience pleasure. The study had found that people who suffer from obesity had defects in the dopaminergic responses to food; which is to say that they needed more food in order to feel "better", much like a drug addict.
That study also found that a lot of those people knew of the health problems they were facing but were unable to stop themselves from eating because, as i said, eating is their way of coping with stress in their lives.
Now i'm not saying everyone is like that, and i'm not saying it's okay because they're addicts. All i'm saying is don't be so quick to judge, not everyone eats just because they're complete gluttons.
