obesity becoming a major concern
 

SYDNEY, Australia - An obesity pandemic threatens to overwhelm health systems around the globe with illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, experts at an international conference warned Sunday.

"This insidious, creeping pandemic of obesity is now engulfing the entire world," Paul Zimmet, chairman of the meeting of more than 2,500 experts and health officials, said in a speech opening the weeklong International Congress on Obesity. "It's as big a threat as global warming and bird flu."

The World Health Organization says more than 1 billion adults are overweight and 300 million of them are obese, putting them at much higher risk of diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, stroke and some forms of cancer.


we should really even it out...obesity is becoming a major threat to our health
but yet we dont have enough food to feed the poor
:nono: sumthin dont sound right

Then they should exercise, practice self-discipline, or they're just bringing it upon themselves (if it's not hereditary, but even then you can work it off).

^^same thing wit global warming.....i swear us humans are greedy selfish ass animals
we forget about the people thats starving and shove our faces wit food
and we refuse ta give up cars and all that other shit till there's a big ass hole
in the atomsphere....we just work our way down to self destruction

lol @ giving up cars

Lmfao. its called exercise. people are idiots

98% of people who say its in the family are wrong. Only 2% of the obese actually have a condition.

Lol@Fat People....They Should Work Out Lmao

What I find funny is people laugh at you for biking

But I'm not paying $2.70/ gallon and wasting my money away, and I'm getting exercise as well.

Oh well, let people enjoy their laziness.
