    This trend is going to continue. Every food item you can think of is available for purchase to keep at home. So convenient access to abundance of calories (without the nutrients), lack of activity to burn off those calories leads to an obesity epidemic.

    Dieting is a temporary fix. The environment around you is setup to make you fat.

    One of my sister gives her kids coca cola to shut them up then wonders why they act so damn crazy when they don't get their fix. We, literally, get in to heated arguments over this.

    Way to help the cause, sis.

    So ridiculous.

    That cereal carries a clear warning that kids go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

    Hilarious. But I believe it. Again with the monetization of food. Squeeze every ****ing cent out of everything.

    I think liquid calories a big issue with our culture. People don't go to starbucks to drink coffee...they go for liquid desserts.

    Just empty sugar calories...in sports drinks, energy drinks, preworkout drinks, teas, lattes...sodas..

    If BMI doesn't work, how does one know if he is fat?

    We can't. We have to wait for a new formula that works on JJ watt and the non athletes.

    You sound like a couple of my insecure friends who start talking about their D when they're drunk.

    Obesity in America can be traced back to a single event... the government funded invention of high fructose corn syrup, along with the corn subsidies that came with it. In an effort to drive food costs down exponentially through subsidies, the government has inadvertently created generations of obese and diabetic Americans. Corn is in nearly every item in a grocery store, and it is killing us by the millions.

    King Corn is a fantastic documentary, here's a short clip below - but I highly recommend the entire film.

    I don't then it's any one thing. It's the increased availability of food in general. Coupled with zero activity.
