The U.S. Government makes US FAT?

Posted in BIG Picture, Eating Habits, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on May 30, 2008 | 6 Comments »

This is some intense stuff.
If you have about 40 minutes, I highly recommend watching these videos.  Thank you to Truth Be Told for posting these videos on her blog.  You may have noticed quite a lengthy comment from her on my “Fat Mission” page a while back.
I’ve read before about how much our government subsidizes [...]

Insert foot in mouth

Haha…  just kidding.  I’m never wrong.
But seriously, apparently a study has shown that obesity rates in kids did not increase significantly from 2003-2004 to 2005-2006.  Check it out.
Not to be a stickler, but the rates still could be increasing slightly.  The difference just may not have been large enough to outweigh any statistical anomalies.

Check out this article from BBC news entitled Overweight ‘top worlds hungry’.

While the number of people in the world that do not get enough food to eat has been declining slowly (currently around 800 million), the number of overweight/obese people has skyrocketed in recent decades to [...]
