Rising Tide of Obesity in America Continues Unabated

Another take on the obvious result of stupidity.

"Despite efforts to stem the surge of obesity in America, the problem worsened in much of the country last year.

So found the Trust for America's Health, which reported that adult obesity rates increased in 37 states and no single state managed to slim down its total percentage of overweight people.

Nine more states joined the ranks of those with 25% of its citizens classified as obese, bringing the total to 28, reported Jeffrey Levi, Ph.D., and colleagues."
There are no "efforts to stem the surge of obesity in America."

There is merely the appearance of effort.

Big Government, Big Sick Care, Big Pharma, Big AdipOprah, Big Media, diet gurus (e.g., here, here, here, here, here, here and here) are all in cahoots conning us into believing that they are working to solve the problem.

The only problems they are confronting are "How do I save my own (frequently) fat ass?" and "How do I steal money from the public for useless and deadly weight loss advice?"

Believe their crap, or resist it and make them pay.

These are your only real choices.
