Actually, it is not a lie. Its completely the truth. But fat or thin, its not about the weight. It is about the genetics and the life style. Fat people in the US are mostly poor. They are poor because they have bad genes. They are stupid, or violent, or addicted or all three as a result of genetics. They live a reckless lifestyle and come from gene pools where life expectancy is low.
There are as many obese people in California as the entire population of Ohio. Why? Mexicans and blacks. Fat and die young. Hence statistics which are claimed (incorrectly) to show people die from being fat. It is a casual relationship. not a causal one.
I actually taught classes in healthy living to people who didn’t have a clue. The program came from Stanford, and was sponsored locally by some government agency. They asked me to teach the minute I walked into my local clinic…I’m extra healthy, slim, ate right all my life, and go to the gym almost daily. Anyway….
The people in the class had no clue. (I’m old enough to be their grandmother.) Some, like young single mothers, were in pretty good shape, and were very interested in bettering themselves and having healthy kids. They were a pleasure. But others were second and third generation welfare recipients, overweight and dull, if not stupid. One young man in a wheelchair because he was too fat to walk was pleasant and had an extraordinary voice. I mentioned to him that he could probably find work as a radio announcer, why not take a class (free) at community college?
You should have seen the look on his face as he said “No, no, no.” Utter shock. He’d never considered bettering himself and he never will. He’ll keep eating hideous junk, keep living on other people’s money until he dies very young.
So, this is one mindset that keeps people fat. And unhealthy. They don’t want to change, or get better, or even live. Sad, really. I couldn’t continue teaching that class for very long.
So all the bad gene pools are in America?
Why is then, that you can take people from other countries, Japan for example. Put them on an American diet, and they die from the same things Americans do, and they display obesity also.
Why is it also that different parts of our country tend to have healthier people? Sure many go there because they’re healthy to begin with.
Obesity in senior people is deadly.
