According to his BMI of 30.4, he was obese.
I think you're missing what I'm trying to say the same way hxc is, so I'll quote my reply to him:
all it takes is knowing fucking measure when enough is enough. don't jump on here pretending to be a some sort of white knight. there are NO excuses for obesity except extreme medical condition.
it's eather lack of will, or gluttony, or both.
Hmmmm... You say this because you know how/why/what. You're educated about it so you know what to do and what not to do to keep a healthy body.
This is most likely not the case for everyone. Most people are brainwashed by TV, on which you see advertisement for fast food chains, pre-cooked indutrial food brands, candies and junk food etc... companies that can afford TV advertisement.
You won't see healthy locally growing food ads and campaigns telling people not to eat shitty stuff you see on the TV ads coming just after.
Obesity is a societal issue, it's in big part caused by our actual laxity toward industry. We esteem it's okay to advertise and sell unhealthy shit for the sake of the guy's company income, and then we blame consumers for being what they're expected to be : fat and stupid.
Sure someone's will have to do with his health, but the environment he grows in and his education probably have more impact.
i'm completely uneducated on food. all i know is that junk food fuck you up.
fast food is not a source of daily meal and it's not supposed to be. if people fail to understand it - thats their problem.
Well, some people don't even know this, and some can't say what is junk food and what isn't.
It's not only fast foods, it's any industrial food you can buy in supermarkets, food under plastic.
Even at home, some people prefer throwing nuggets to the pan and insta-pasta to the microwave, or pre-cooked shit to the microwave, instead of taking good products and spend 10-15 minutes preparing it. They think it's "home food" so it's okay, it's not fast-food so that's probably not junk food. They're wrong.
The ideal would be to buy vegies, fruits and cereals on the market, meat at the butcher's place, bread at the bakery etc... but people go to supermarkets and buy easy shit and probably have no clue about how bad it is.
You think you're uneducated about food, but I think you don't realize what being really uneducated is. ;o
