You Stay Fat – They Stay Rich: What To Do

If you are reading this, there is a huge chance that you are fat. (No pun intended). If it’s any consolation, over two thirds of adult Americans are overweight or clinically obese. Welcome to the club, the snacks are over there.

One of the strangest things in modern history is that the more developed and well off a country gets, the fatter it’s people become. Most people in most of the developed nations today have a few extra pounds on them, to say the least.

Before we start figuring out what to do about it, we should figure out why so many people are so fat. Certainly people a hundred years ago weren’t fat, so what happened?

Well, most people in developed countries can make a pretty good living sitting at a desk all day long. By the way, whose turn was it to bring donuts today? Of course, if you are a lumberjack, or an MMA cage fighter, then this doesn’t apply to you.

The second reason is the stuff we stuff into our mouths on a daily basis. Don’t get me wrong, I love a double cheese Calzone just like the next gal, but those don’t help your figure out that much. Not to mention all the chemicals, preservatives, and who knows what else is put in there, so they can mass produce it in New York, and sell it in San Francisco.

What about heading out for a bite? Is it any better? No. It’s worse. Much worse. How many fast food restaurants do you think you pass by on your way to and from work everyday? Ten? Twenty? More? And how healthy do you think those places are? If you were a mad scientist, and wanted to craft some food that tasted delicious but was deadly, you couldn’t do a much better job than the fast food that is available to us today.

And if you are ever hungry, and you go shopping, where are you more likely to head, the cucumber section, or the frozen food microwave section? Or that section of most supermarkets today where they have food that is just as bad as fast food, but smells so good?

And all those companies that make all that food that is so hard to resist? Do you think they want you to lose weight? Do you think they would like you to shop at the whole foods market instead of the drive-thru? Yep, didn’t think so.

While I wouldn’t go so far as to say they designed our whole nation of fat people with profit in mind, but their sure are a lot of people making a lot of money off of people that can’t resist stopping by the donut shop on their way home from work.

To truly get rid of the fat, and the weight, we must learn to not only resist the junk that is around us, but get up off our behinds and go for a walk once in a while. It will do you a world of good.
