Is it possible to get more obese

[Lao Tzu]

I was reading a book on obesity today that said at current rates of obesity growth that in 30 years about 60% of the american public will be obese. How the fuck can this be? Its not like our lives/jobs involve physical activity as it is, and its not like food can get any worse than it is. Can things get worse? HOW?Can food and exercise get worse? Whats the worst they can do, give us rascals to drive around walmart instead of walking? I hope to christ it never gets that bad but right now 'exercise' for most people involves walking maybe a total of 30 minutes a day. The rest is sitting or standing (that 30 minutes involves walking to the car, to the bathroom, to the fridge, etc) How can obesity get worse at this point?

Does anyone see what i'm saying? I just dont see how things could be worse than they already are. EVeryone has access to fast food and most people are lucky if they walk 30 minutes a day 3x a week like the surgeon general recommends (on top of the normal daily walking to the car and fridge). How could it get any worse?

I dont see how it can get worse in regards to diet/exercise. What could make it worse? Can people get scooters to take them to their cars and start putting butter on everything they eat? Im just wondering if its possible or if we've topped out the hedonistic lifestyle.

according to the BMI scale i am obese. i was so excited when i was finally classified. all those sqauts and deadlifts payed off. now i can call all my relatives and tell them i shooting to be morbidly obese.

I saw my doc about my diabetes (type 1, not fatty diabetes) and i told him i am obese according to the BMI scale and he just laughed.

A lot of it has to do with how they classify someone as "obese." The day the BMI became the official standard obesity levels in the US instantly skyrocketed. I'm obese by BMI standards and have 9% BF. If they would use actual BF levels as the standard obesity levels would instantly decline.

depends on whom you're talking about.

tuc, for example, cannot possibly get any more obese.

how can it get worse? easy. all the older people (who are generally healthier, lighter, and have far better eating/exercise habits than their children) will die, and the obese middle agers will try their hand at being super-obese in their geriatric years

mate i know people NOW who are under 30 years old, primed for heart attacks and strokes. my parents are healthier than some of my mates. its just begun.

Much like the escalator to get to the second floor McDonalds.
