According to Kate Steinbeck, co-chair of the 10th International Congress on Obesity in Sydney this is the first generation in history where children may die before parents.
Obesity had become an insidious killer and the major contributing cause of preventable diseases such as diabetes and heat disease.
Evolution and the environment has led to a global obesity pandemic with an estimated 1.5 billion people over weight.
Too little sleep and fat rich fast food is also to be blamed for altering a person's biology. No wonder girls as young as five are sensitive about their bodies in a "weight-hostile" environment that equates popularity and attractiveness with thinness.
It was suggested that the governments should consider taxing sugary beverages to protect Americans from consuming hundreds of excess calories a day.

He learned, however, to discriminate between the lines of his life, and very much preferred these stockholders' meetings and trustees' dinners and commencement collations to another set of occasions, from http://www.facebook.com which he used to beg off most piteously.. A game at cross-purposes ensued; exclamations and explanations, and denials and apologies filled up the time http://www.google.com which was to have made Master Horner so blest... Nice one :) Thanks! I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often. |
