In the form of high health insurance rates. Along with unhealthy and fat come a plethora of illnesses and early death which affects families who have to help, heal, take care of their obese members as well as costs associated with the illnesses. I think everyone misses the point of the article that we need to be concerned about living long, healthy, QUALITY lives. Our bodies were not meant to consume this "engineered", boxed and fast food that has been altered for the sake of shelf life, look, taste and smell. Simple, whole foods that are homemade...not from boxes. We need to eat several small, 300 calorie meals daily to boost metabolism, not overload our bodies with excess calories and eat to keep our bodies healthy not to satisfy our emotions. Believe me when I say it is easy to whip up a healthy, good-tasting meal in no time at all. This is the information age...educate yourselves on what you put in your body...Read Eat Clean Diet, Fast Food Nation, Mindless Eating and see Food, Inc. It might just make you think about hoe you are polluting your bodies. Everyone’s personal decision actually affect us all. In the form of high health insurance rates.

I eat them sometimes, but I eat healthy, too. I LOVE fruit, yogurt, milk, and different meats than the ground beef that makes a burger. I may not be a salad person, but I am an exercise person. I'm not a fatso that sits on the couch; if anything, I'm the skinniest person in my house (some of my family members need 2 shed some pounds). Exercise+healthy food+moderation=healthy. Period.

Protein is available in plenty of non-meat sources like nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, and vegetables. It is easy to get the daily recommended amount of protein from these sources as part of a healthy, balanced diet. I am a vegetarian, and I am certainly not flabby. :) Your post had a lot of good points, but you were wrong to say that diets without meat are “bogus.” Protein is available in plenty of non-meat sources like nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, and vegetables.

You can have the best abs in the world, but will never be able to show them off if there is even the slightest layer of fat concealing them.

This is also becoming a problem in Russia (except where there are food shortages). :-) I find that chubby Russian women are much better in bed and have an appetite for sex that almost exceeds their appetite for food. :-P As hard as that may be to believe!

The food in the United States is too full of fatty oil and grease. There is way too much sugar and people drink soda instead of water. It's not surprising that people are getting fatter as time progresses. If most Americans cut out fried foods and sugar they would be much healthier and thinner.
