The 'Fat Map': Putting World Hunger Into Perspective
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 11:16:45 in World
“Then why aren't Nother Europeans obese as well? Most of N. Europe is highly developed. They can certainy obtain food with ease. The problem lies much more within our culture than it does with our genetics. Fast food and hours upon hours of tv watching caused this..... not genetics..

“It's true humans aren't evolved to have so much food around all the time, but European ancestry is a genetic advantage for obesity. People with Native American ancestry have a lot of problems. Genes do matter, but almost all Americans have mixed heritage, so its really hard to blame on genes.”

“I don't know about all of N Europe, but certainly in the UK over the last 30 years obesity rates are on a par with US. When I grew up in the 1950's we still had some food rationing in UK and most working class people didn't have enough money to acquire the habit to over eat. We ate calorie laden foods, ie potatoes, cheap meats etc but not in huge quantities, so I don't think the argument between poor nutition and obesity is the cause, it's the amount of food you eat. I'm 62 and still have 31" waist, same as at 16, and it's not difficult to control weight if you've never overeaten. I'm not being holier than thou because I think it's a bad habit like smoking that's very difficult to change when you are used to it. So I think it's up to parents to start their children on good eating habits which most will retain for the rest of their lives.”

“And why are the rates of obesity in the US higher in NON EUROPEANs?
And why wasn't obesity a huge problem 100 years ago, our genes haven't changed.
The problem is that we eat more calories than we get rid of by exercise. And we now have lots of available, high caloric foods. Your great-grandmother could never have eaten 1000 calories in one sitting and still feel hungry. But you can, grab a big chocolate bar.”

Dante Stallworth was convicted of DUI manslaughter and only got 30 days in jail. Ray Lewis was charged with murder and what did he get?? A super bowl MVP. Give the guy a chance.”

“Ray Lewis was never charged with murder.
He was charged as an accessory for allowing the accused murderers to ride away in his limo.
That is pretty bad, too, but it's very different than being charged with murder.”

“Anyone with half a brain could tell this guy was going to run. He's going to have to raise a lot of money if Meg Whitman enters the race as expected. I'm confident Newsome will win. I foresee him moving a little more towards the center after he's been in office for a little whiel in order to position himself for a presidential run down the road.”
