Is being Morbidly Obese a form of Suicide?
2:04 AM Posted by Plane Healthy
Listening to the story, you find that he consumes 30,000 calories a day in Junk Food/Fast Food!
Why would he continue to do this? He cant help himself? Well I believe it is a form of suicide then. How about the accomplice? The man cannot get out of bed, so you have (loved ones?) running out and providing the food for him. If he dies, I think it should be grounds for Man Slaughter. Too harsh? Let me tell you, it this was someone I loved, I wouldn't be providing him with 30,000 calories on McDonald's!!!
This gets me so angry!!!! Is obesity a disease? Yes its like Alcoholism. People get addicted to food, but whatever happened to intervention? I think when someone gets to the point where you cant walk, someone should step in!!
Most of us struggle with weight issues. But really! Most of us keep from getting morbidly obese.
America is the problem! Our foods are so nutritionally bankrupt that we don't get the nutrients we need! So once we eat; an hour later our mouths fly open because the body is still starving!!! 85 % of the population is overweight and 35% of them are obese. And this is rising!!! Our children now are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes! An adult onset disease! It's because of Fast Foods and all the chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics and hormones that our in our food. Our bodies just don't have a fighting chance.
Add all that to just plain ignorance and we have people breaking down the side of a house to get a man out of bed!!!

Is Childhood Obesity Child Abuse?
10:31 AM Posted by Plane Healthy
In America 85% of the population is overweight. 25% percent of that 85% are obese. Between 5-25 percent of children and teenagers in the United States are obese!
This is a true health crisis! Children are facing two enormous challenges today. Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. A rising number of children are being diagnosed with ADD and ADHD.
Childhood obesity and sickness most likely results from a combination of nutritional ignorance within the family compound, psychological issues in which I believe are caused by our over processed, nutritional bankrupt food supply, and monetary status. Although I've seen obesity in children in homes with a six figure a year income.
We have major challenges facing us today. Our food supply, which is nutritionally bankrupt and genetically altered. And the lure of the fast food to our working mothers. Its easier to pick up some McDonald's in between Job 1 and Job 2 than it is to cook a healthy meal.
Obesity used to be a sign of wealth, today it is a sign of poverty.
But when a child is overweight, or worse yet obese, shouldn't a parent take action to make a change?
Is this the new form of Child Abuse? Born not out of intent but ignorance and laziness.
