Which one is hurting America’s economy more? With all of the health problems that occur with obesity is it fair to say that it is hurting us more, less, or just the same? Should medical and health insurances concentrate more on weight management?

Do you think Obesity is measured correctly in America? I personally disagree with the BMI calculation and think it warps what defines obesity. If for example, you’re a 230 Ib. 6′1 male who can hardly pinch fat because of muscle, you’re still defines according to BMI as overweight! Who thought up this crap? And as I asked before, what do you think about the subject in general?

I’m not sure how I feel about the issue and although obesity is a major problem, I don’t understand why resturants should be forced to change their menus and ways of cooking because of it. People have a choice to eat what they want..If they choose to eat unhealthy than they pay the consequences for it.

I know many are, but are all hormonal disorders linked with obesity?

Is there a correlation between coke changing santa into an obese red faced knome in 1931, and the obesity epidemic in America?
ie: they seem to associate being fat with being jolly/happy.
