I think that fat people are the worst people on earth.

I think that you’re right. One cultural habit that would probably bring a lot of fitness and health benefit back to america is family meal time. If families would just sit down and eat a planned, freshly prepared meal, once a day it would do wonders for us, both physically and mentally. Thanks for your comment.

In a way, I also blame parents for not teaching their kids self-control. We are in the “microwave” culture where we do not have any clue as to what delayed gratification is. This makes for fat kids who become fat adults.

Put a luxury tax on candy and put that money towards funding community
rec leagues to help get people out of their chairs. That way, only
the rich could afford to be obese and they could afford the cost of
it. My health insurance premiums have increased 10% each year for the
past several years and it is nearly entirely out of reach for those of
us who don’t work at monster companies and pay our own health care
premiums. I believe this increase is due to the poor health of the
majority of insured individuals costing all of us more money.
