The 7 most obese states...

92. The truth is

people do know what is behind the obesity epidemic. And eating less is a big key to the solution. It is very difficult for some people to do that, or as you say no one would be obese. The truth is that the intake of sugar and specifically high fructose corn syrup mirrors the obesity epidemic in this country. Try to buy any processed food that does not have high fructose corn syrup in it. You will find that a difficult task. The truth is sitting in front of a TV or computer screen most of the day have contributed to the obesity epidemic. Fifty years ago when I was a kid, we played out doors all day, when not in school. We walked all over the place and ran and jumped and did all kinds of activities. The truth is the obesity epidemic has gone hand and glove with the advent of processed foods. A home cooked meal meant from scratch. Now, a home cooked meal is out of a can or a box and microwaved. And the way to reverse the obesity epidemic is to do just those things. It also means eating slower, savoring each bite and pushing away from the table when a feeling of fullness come on. It also means recognizing that the feeling of hunger is most times a need for water and drinking a glass or two when you do feel hungry. It also means taking the time to measure out the portions that are eaten and not to over eat. It also means that dessert is not a food group and that it is a treat to be had once a week at the most. I am not blaming the victim, I am stating the facts and you can take them or leave them. I am prejudiced against not being healthy whether overweight or not. Most of the time it is in the hands of the person who suffers the problem. And I don't know what lie you seem to think I am repeating.
