    I live in a college town so I honestly have no idea about the obesity rates in the rest of the country. Everybody I know either jogs or goes to the gym. You see your occassional fattie now and then, but they are most definitely a minority.

    Honestly, if you're under the age of 30 and you don't have some kind of condition (thryoid or whatnot) you have zero excuse to be fat. Excercise does wonders, I eat whatever the fuck I want but I pay for it four times a week at the gym, Anyone who wants to lose weight badly enough will find some way to do it.

    I don't even know how people live being that big. I'd probably commit that if I was obese.

    Too much fastfood, lack of cooking healthy food & exercise are the culprits I see. I'm not buying this poor people have no options crap. When I was in undergrad I barely had $200/month to spend on food but I still at healthy. I bought frozen fruits/veggies instead of fresh ones. Things like rice & pasta are cheap & along wit using coupons I managed. & I think if u are dedicated to being healthy u would too. If there have always been poor people with fewer dietary options, why is the obesity epidemic a fairly new one. & what's the non-poor people's excuse

    word ....some people are just lazy....

    however healthy food is expensive in terms of calories per dollar ....

    and here in the states a lot of impoverished neighborhoods have few supermarkets and few have cars so they rely on corner stores and convenience marts for groceries...

    really they are just struggling to survive the day and not really concerned with their health or making time to exercise especially when many cannot even afford to see a doctor regularly for blood pressure/diabetes testing which imo would get some of these people to change their eating habits

    not making excuses but there's a reason why poor people have higher obesity rates in america

    I aint been fat since I joined football in high school. Football taught me how to be in shape and I kept it with me. I could give a shit how another man or woman looks.

    blaming it on fast food is a cop out. I eat Burger King every day, difference is i get the salad instead of fries, a diet coke or water and a simple sandwich like a fish filet or chicken wrap, like once a week i'll go all out for the double whopper. every fast food joint has healthy options. i also exercise. no matter what you eat, if you're not exercising then you really can't say shit if you're fat.

    I know a few sistas that hit that gym, but it's few and far between. The gym has the best women.
