I shudder at what I see people buying at the check out stands in the supermarkets. Does nobody cook from scratch anymore?

When I was a kid we went out to eat in town maybe once every two or three months. Mom made everything from scratch. Even bread (swedish rye). We put up the bounty of the garden all summer long and ate like kings during the winter.

It does break my heart to see the fat little kids that really have no say in what their condition is since it is the parents making the food choices. And invariably mom and dad are obese as well.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Beaverpeeler is spot on. I could stand to lose 10 or 12 pounds but so many people eat nothing but garbage. My brother's wife and kids aew all obese and think they are normal. Gardens and game are how we should feed ourselves.

Twenty years ago people here in France were noticeably thinner than Americans but not anymore.

I was playing a game of Scattergories with my in-laws some years back. I had to think of a junk-food that starts with the letter "F". I wrote down "Fruit Loops". They all agreed to disallow my answer because Fruit Loops cereal is NOT "junk food". crazy

The volume of trash they eat is shocking. And, of course, they are all overweight, on medications, and have health problems. Go figure!

Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

Sugar and salt are in absolutely everything. But heck we all gotta die. Being fed too well ain’t a bad way to go. Sure beats the 180. Too many people anyhow.

Soda and bread can pack on and keep the xtra lbs. on. Self control is often in low supply in today's culinary world. Elk, deer and wild turkeys (we raise Easterns), nuts, beans and fish are our proteins. Lots of veggies keep it all going through smoothly. Dessert kills many. A bowl of blue berries makes a great dessert. Dried fruit in the winter can satisfy the sweet tooth.

Health care in this country is going to be totally overloaded in 20 years. It's beginning now and only going to get worse as the fat generations age.

I'll bet the average weight of people right now is at least 40 pounds per person average more than it was when I was a kid. Maybe more. In the 1960's it was unusual to see an obese woman and even more so an obese man, but today everywhere you look you see people who are 50-100 pounds overweight. You don't have to go to walmart either, it's everywhere. Most shocking is the number of women in the teens and 20s who are 50-100 lbs overweight. Somebody's got to pay for all the health care these people are going to need as they age and their knees, backs and hips give out. Diabetes, heart disease, Geeezz it's going to be a mess.

A fat person has more trouble with hygiene than does a thinner person. If in an elevator with fats you really get a dose of it. I would like to see people take charge of what they weigh. Get rid of those motor carts they ride in at Wal-Mart.

We can be active as H and exercise all we want but most of us can't "out run our fork" when it comes to weight control.

A good friend of mine was a fitness nut. Biked, hit the gym and competed in marathons till the day he walked out to his mailbox and died of a heart attack he was 39 years old.

Another friend of mine is a surveyor, skinny as a stick, smokes and eats garbage food. Most would have a hard time keeping up to him in the woods.

Myself on the other hand could lose 50lbs, even though I watch what I eat and should spend more time being active. Wife brings out old photos of when I was in the military and weighed 200lbs with a 31" waist and asks what happened? My response is I don't run five miles every day and your cooking is great!

In the VA Monday, I was surprised by the number of health workers that are not just obese but full on fat, like 300#, I must have seen 30-40 people in scrubs with ID tags that were all fatter than Dirt's submission. Pop is where I lay the most blame, and "juice"; sweet drinks are just about the easiest way possible to take in sugar that is guaranteed to become fat. The more you drink , the more you want to drink.

We’re the product of our successes. Without cars, we did more walking. Blame it on cars. Without fast foods, we ate at home. Blame it on fast food. Without video games we played outside more. Blame it on video technology.

We love blaming. Maybe we ought to blame ourselves. No, that wouldn’t be American.
