Oh dear , WALOB
While his tone is a little ott there have been studies which bear out a link between lower income households and obesity, the crucial factor being those with higher incomes tend to be better educated which includes knowledge about what a healthy diet is.
No problem with what you have written , that is clearly far different from the aboveThe UCI are Clowns and Fools0 -

No. I think the gist of the article is that we're not all racing snakes, and some in the UK could easily pass as a small planet.
That's their choice though. Donut by donut, that's their choice.0 -

Maybe for 80%, however not for all. Some people use food for comfort and it can become a form of addiction much like alcohol or drugs. Personally speaking at around the age of 23 I put on around 4 stone due to various issues. Short of a long story I felt incredibly self conscious to the point of being housebound, it was only due to support from friends and family that I managed to pull myself out of the rut and get on with life. Thankfully skipping ahead a few years later I've discovered cycling, got back into the gym and I'm almost at my target weight (12 pounds to go). Whilst a large proportion of obesity can be attributed to social issues it is extremely unfair to tarnish all obese people with the same reputation.
I agree its not easy to break peoples habits, its about waking up and deciding today will be different. The government can help by ensuring a support structure is in place, ready and easily available for those who have decided to change - counselling, private gym sessions, nutritional advice would all provide a good foundation for getting the pounds off.0 -
I was 16 stone (5ft 10) at 19....I got into cycling and I lost weight the only way it can be lost permanently, the hard way. That's exercising hard and changing your entire lifestyle, not 'going on a diet' then going back to eating crap 24/7 after a month. I'm now 11st 5lb and love riding my bike every day!
People (women in particular) are always after 'the next big thing' when it comes to weight loss.
NEWS FLASH! Losing weight and keeping it off IS NOT easy, its bloody hard work but it's worth it. I have absolutely 0 sympathy for fatties, if I can do it, they can as well.
