Kismit Posted May 16, 2005 #26 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (IP: Staff) · Thanks to these studies Kismit is employed. Obesity is the number one health problem amongst the young all over the world. With type 2 Diabetes on the rise amongst children, it used to be an old mans disease but it isn't any more. Alot of it appears to be linked not only to sedentary lifestyles but to the amount of sugary fizzy drinks we feed our children. In the 50's children got sweet drinks at Christmas time and on special occasions. These days they are cheaper than milk and fill most peoples fridges. Pepsi, Coke, Fanta, Mountain dew and even flavoured milk and fruit juices are packed with unnecisary sugars. Children also need to be introduced to sports early , it doesn't matter if they are any good it only matters that they enjoy it. That way they will be more likely to return to it later in life.

Kismit Posted May 16, 2005 #27 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (IP: Staff) · Warden, are you aware that the average fast food combo contains 26 grams of fat. In a day we only require 30 grams of fat and all the excersise in the world will still leave you with fatty build up in your arteries.... Blagh!! Mc Donalds. I like fruit, vegetables and water yummy.

Kismit Posted May 16, 2005 #29 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (IP: Staff) · There are many ways of finding out if you are overweight but the best thing you can do is consult your Doctor. Your body weight may well be heavy for your height but your fat count could be almost nothing, or you could be healthy looking and skinny but your cholesterol might be sky high along with your blood pressure. Everyone needs to eat properly and above all excersise which I am just off to do myself. You've gotta practice what you preach If any of this is no good for you, then there are bound to be sites dedicated to measuring peoples weight and working out if they are in the healthy weight range. All you will need is your height and your weight and they will calculate it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kismit Posted May 17, 2005 #32 Share Posted May 17, 2005 (IP: Staff) · I agree Paddowan, you should eat foods you enjoy, but you should try and find healthy foods you enjoy before eating junk. Allthough people who eat junk food keep me in work for a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted May 17, 2005 #36 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The reason why children are fatter is because in fact (just my theory) bovine are injected with steroids. Thus making these children develop at an earlier age and gaining a lot of weight. Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warden Posted May 18, 2005 #42 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Come on folks we all know the reasons ,many have been mentioned before in other threads similar to this one Mums used to be in the home alot more than they are today,kids got a good healthy breakfast before going to school,know they just grab what they can some times having nothing at all You had your school dinners which werent to bad ,or you had a pack lunch to bring with you ,which again your mum maid (healthy food).Know the kids leave school at dinner time and grab a bag of chips , pizza or burger You had lots of sports at school ,usually every day.Know they have sports once a week for two hours When you got home your mum had a good healthy meal on the table for you ,you then done home-work and were of to play in the streets or down the local park. Know when they get home they have a glass of fizzy juice,bag of crisps or a biscuit sit on the PC,playstation or text their friends,go and stand on a street corner all night ,back home for more juice and crap then to bed I am not having a dig at mums ,i am having a dig at all of us that are parents ,and people without kids that find them selfs in a similar situation,a wee bit of common sense and a little exercise daily will reduce the problem and will add a few extra years to your life span Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted May 18, 2005 #43 Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) We should not let people eat what they want because it tastes good. Taking Cocaine and E makes you feel good People can eat what they want when they learn how to balance their food groups properly. Why the hell should I pay for for some fat sack of sh!t that can't control their habits. When I smoked I used to get this thrown in my face, which I agreed with. If obese people were left to rot in their own faeces fair enough, but obesity costs our health service billions per year, its going to start taking over smoking related deaths. Im all for everyone having the right todo what they want, but when someones right to todo what they wont infringes on others right todo what they want its wrong. legit obese problems fair enough. I think they should pay ta on Mcdonalds etc, Its only fair Edited May 18, 2005 by Scar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted May 18, 2005 #44 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think they should pay ta on Mcdonalds etc, Its only fair 627596[/snapback] That would assume that everyone who eats at Maccies will need medical treatment. Also if you look at their website they will tell you they’ve been "committed to promoting healthy lifestyles for over a decade." I guess I must have missed it then.

Guest Lottie Posted May 18, 2005 #45 Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) I know for a fact that Scotland has far higher levels of obesity than England, with all those deep-fried Mars Bars that your kids eat. It should come as no surprise to you that Scotland is the heart disease capital of Europe. The English also hate you Scots. Why? Because English taxpayers are fed up with paying for services that are only used in Scotland and not England. 624346[/snapback] Blackleaf this may be your view but its definately is not mine or the majority of other people who live in England. This is the kind of stereotyping that causes conflict and discrimination. Where exactly are you getting this info about the Scots from and why seemingly so much irritation towrds them? it seems to go much further than taxes. I am not trying to flame the situation so please don't get defensive, I am just trying to understand where you are coming from.

How about while your being served in Mcdod's you stand on a Weight machine, they check your height and if your obese you don't get Edited May 18, 2005 by Scar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
