Guest LilBambi Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thank you Adam for posting it at this very time (with USA Independence Day celebration around the corner) it is very poignant. We are a melting pot. We can not forget our roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete! Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Back "On Topic": Look at the pictures.... Motorcycles, scooters, shopping carts..... It's not the governments fault It's not Madison Avenue It's not McDonald's, KFC, or Burger King It's not genetically modified food It's not social injustice It's not about "big boned", or a glandular condition If you want to blame someone..... IT'S THAT GUY WHO INVENTED THE WHEEL ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 In some ways that is true Pete! In earlier times, we would walk everywhere. Now we often live too far apart, or live on the other side of a sprawling city or city in the making. Walking along highways is not safe for various reasons. So unless you live in a city, or a bedroom community with nice roads and sidewalks, getting somewhere takes a vehicle of some kind; car, truck, bus, etc. Biking is a good option for some areas if they have wide enough roads and/or bike lanes to make it safer. This is not the case in areas where there are roads that two vehicles have to go to the edge to of the road without a line down the middle to make sure each other can get past each other....

ebrke Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 So unless you live in a city, or a bedroom community with nice roads and sidewalks, getting somewhere takes a vehicle of some kind; car, truck, bus, etc. Sadly, in my area bedroom communities frequently have no sidewalks. Sidewalks are for pedestrians, and no one envisioned that peculiar breed when the new suburbs were laid out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I still think that the main reason for morbid obesity is nothing more or less than clinical depression. There is also the problem with insulin . Both causes are self perpetuating . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That really is awful. Why would anyone buy that for their child? :'( Because the child is inundated with advertisements for the doll on all their favorite afternoon television programs. As a result, they nag and whine to their parents, whose main concerned is keeping their children quiet and invisible using any means necessary up to and including pharmaceuticals. Modern parenting... it is what it is. And, of course, I'm painting with a very BROAD brush here. So, you good parents out there, don't get all upset. I wasn't talking about you. However, you parents who drug your kids up and let the TV babysit them, well... you know who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Crow Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The ladies around here keep fit with a lot of power walking . They tone up their legs lungs tummies hips, and jaws:- because it gets them on a high and they really chatter a lot as they are passing by. I like it.

Cluttermagnet Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Mercola has been singing the praises of high intensity interval training, the past year or so. He is a strong believer in that approach. On another note... We used to have Super High Intensity Training back in the day. I am sworn to not speak the acronym for it, lest I be terminated by assassins or my mouth scrubbed with bar soap by the ever vigilant censors. The secret is safe with me... P.S. I did later take the time to watch the entire film. And learned a few new things. Excellent- thanks! The Truth About Exercise.

Corrine Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Folks, Let's try to not let this thread get out of hand with posting pictures of overweight people. It is mean-spirited, and not really what we stand for here. It started as a discussion about the state of obesity in the United States, and is starting to become one where fat people are mocked. If the thread continues this way, I will lock it. Return to your regularly scheduled foolishness. Adam PS- I don't really care about the topic going off topic, only the topic that the topic drifted to. Does that make sense? >_ Apologies to those who wanted to continue the discussion. Adam already asked that pictures not be posted of overweight people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
