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?

Correction: 53 Americans died because they were unable to protect themselves.

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!

Since the “main-SLIME media” constantly RANTS endlessly about “mass shootings”, I wonder how many people in the USA die each month from shootings by CRIMINAL PREDATORS??

SEVERAL TIMES more than die from “mass shootings” by “active shooters”, is my guess.

WHEN & IF we “get serious as a Nation” about locking away the PREDATORS for LONG/MANDATORY SENTENCES & W/O PAROLE, who possess deadly weapons while engaged in committing or attempting felony crimes, the death rate from deadly weapons will fall by more than 75%.

Note: I was “pinned to a badge” for about 3 decades & that is the ONLY truly EFFECTIVE solution to the ARMED FELON problem.

My recommendation is to buy guns and ammo, folks. The same people who are so over emotional and vote in a government who curtails your rights is the same one who will murder millions and call it Constitutional. Millions of babies murdered and no one does a thing to stop it. The same will happen when the ‘government’ defines certain groups of people as non-people and starts murdering them.

We’re not fat. We’re famine ready, in case one ever hits. I have every right to prepare for a famine, no matter how remote the possibility. /sarc, sort of

Yes, but the obese are only described that way in comparison to thin people. Many more thin people die annually than fat people,.....so there.../s

Soy fed babies with malfunctioning endocrine systems? I keep looking at these young girls and trying to imagine what they will weigh when walking down the cake mix aisle adds 8 pounds... at age 45 or 50.
They drink more calories in a day than i consmsume in 2 or 3 days.

Enough with the fat shaming. Gain 30 pounds over what “they” say is optimal and you’re obese. There are worse things you can be than obese. A murderer, a drunk driver, an abusive spouse, down right evil, a child molester, a drunk, a druggie, a liar, a cheat, and a thief. But none of those hit people’s jolly button more than fat shaming.

And still the chorus from our “betters” is “guns are bad” and “big is beautiful”

They really are trying to kill us all.

Time to ban Cheetos. At the very least, background checks for purchase are in order.
