I am well aware of DNA factors and glandular conditions, which can render body-frames and circumstances that ultimately cause people to gain large amounts of weight. I am also cognizant of the fact that many Americans and people World-wide work hard fighting weight-gain. Finally, we must all know that discussing folks' obesity is now under scrutiny by the 'politically-correct-patrol-officer.'
The word 'fat' was often used growing up in the '40's & '50's and, in fact, some kids were given the nickname 'Fat' or 'Fatso' or 'Lumpy.' Whatever...here's the 'skinny' on obesity. A recent study conducted by the University of Washington (Seattle) concludes that today's global obesity problem affects 1-in-10 people worldwide. Among the 20- largest countries the USA has the highest rate of obesity in children and young adults. (Note: Do you wish to discuss the future of health care?) America also has the highest number of obese adults.
Perhaps the growing problem of obesity will bring back one of my favorite polka-songs played at every Polish (1950's) wedding reception that I crashed during those teen years...sorry folks it ain't politically correct...but it is what it is and I believe the cause of most obesity is found in the old adage: 'Some eat to live while others live to eat.'
