I don't know why it's out of consideration that people are just shameless slobs now and that's a major component of the obesity epidemic. Bastardy, tattoos, and dressing like a sloppy clown in public were inconceivable 40 years ago when everyone was thin. Anything goes now (no one will call your bastard a bastard), and so does being a gluttonous fat ass, really. The social consequences are minimal.
I'm around a fair number of fat people and I don't need any nutritional science background to notice they eat very often and they eat a lot. I suppose there's clinical evidence that low carb diets work, but it pretty much seems to me the main factor is these people just don't care about being fat slobs.
- Retric 14y ago40 years ago we did not grow enough food per person to support a fat population. So, without the 'green revolution' it would have been impossible for the 'obesity epidemic' to occur. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution Also obesity has been an issue for middle aged wealthy people for at least the last few thousand years. Which suggest's people tend to eat more when they can afford to do so.
- rubashov 14y agoSo why do bastardy, bad taste in fashion, and obesity all track so closely? You see this all over the world. Where people are well dressed and there is little bastardy, they are thin, regardless of the affluence level.
