More math .... cdc says about 40% of Americans are obese.
https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html
familyop <——— Barely survived obesity, so far.
[Little admission there. Still struggling to get the weight down more.]
Is obesity ever identified as the cause of death on official documents?

Good question....and kind of on that topic and maybe why it’s not listed as an official cause (see above).
Hmmmmmm... Nothing here about the standard high-carb diet...
Interesting article...worth the read. Thanks.
I remember 1 fat kid in 6th grade when I was in school around 1970.
Now they are the majority.
A high carb diet will work for a young person, if that young person eats enough vegetables and lean meat (including chicken, fish, etc.) and gets plenty of exercise. I found out the hard way, though, that without plenty of exercise, those carbs are converted into much sugar and fat. Ouch!
The key is to start exercising very soon after ingesting the carbs. Otherwise,...that tired feeling, sugar and fat! Those carbs only provide energy for a short window of time. Did that the right way for a short period of time, too, when I was smarter and healthier.
Totally correct. I was 6’4” til a bad car wreck jacked my spine.
Now am 6’2” at 215 lbs, (what I weighed in High School.)
When my heart doc started to lecture me about my BMI I asked him if he thought he could take me? I held a straight face.
He was quiet. Never brought up the subject again.
Correction: 53 Americans died because they were unable to protect themselves.
Anyone questioning the numbers should just look around. Fatties everywhere. No excuse. It’s a national security issue.
BMI is an imperfect measure, but anyone with eyes open can see there are a lot more fat folks than in the past. It is a problem. As a country we’re eating more than we should. Now what is the single largest source of all those excess calories? Government! And it keeps push PSAs about ‘hunger’ (defined as having missed one meal in the past month IIRC) when many of us could benefit from some dosage of hunger. And it keeps handing out free food to folks without checking whether they really need it. They forgot “first, to do no harm.” They’re using the wrong ‘needs’ test. Don’t give people extra food because they’re $ challenged, only give it to those who nutritionally need it. And if the liberals stop you from blocking handing out extra calories to those who instead need a diet then instead give them vouchers only exchangeable for ‘healthier diet’ food. Use Michelle’s school lunch menu plan for them. Let the libs argue with that!
People are like a flock of chickens. If a fox takes one the do not notice. Then a few days later, another, then another. Soon they have taken the whole flock without any of them wondering what is going on.
Now, take a flock and place them in a protected pen a fox cannot get into, but a coyote does get in and goes into a killing rage, killing maybe half or more of the flock. The chickens go into a panic with no place to run to.
The same with people. A serial killer may kill dozens but no one really notices.
But a mass murderer-—WOW!
No. If death certificates were written by scientifically-honest doctors, the correct terminology would be “poisoning”.
The fact that I am a distinct minority in that view does not diminish from the other fact that I am correct.
Obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease...all symptoms of poisoning. It’s like concluding that a car crash was caused by the tree...
We gotta ban sugary, processed assault food. Door-to-door confiscation, baby!
Young Chinese are 'too fat and masturbate too much to pass army fitness tests'
“The fact that I am a distinct minority in that view does not diminish from the other fact that I am correct.”
No arrogance lacking in this one.
You ain’t getting my chocolate, Doritos, Cheetos, bacon-flavored cheese in a can...
