BY The Year 2030 forty two per cent of all american adults will be obese, so they say. (we never quite know who "they" are, do we?). Right now, the number stands at thirty three per cent, so presumably "they" are extrapolating using current trends.
forty two million more americans will be obese by 2030; forty two million new obese people, with a lot of obese people now living, dead. this has been a long time coming, probably since the post world war two development of television, the increase in labor saving machinery, and the advent of fast foods and the sugar craze we now witness.
Plus, food is just too darned cheap here....what rotten luck.
if americna en mass went on a diet, lost all that weight, and got in decent shape, billions of dollars would be saved in health care costs, and people would be more productive; these two factors combined would probably be sufficient to solve every economic problem in the country;
it would pay off the national debt, balance the budget, and return the value of american currency to a reasonable level. As things are going now, american life expectancy will start to decline, and health care costs will soas to become the overwhelmingly dominant portion of resource allocation.
the solution is diet and exerise, from sea to shining sea. Even if only a small portion of the population would get fit, it would make some difference; a high percentage of the population fit and lean would turn the country around.
Looking forward to seein' y'all at the gym. Afterwards let's grab a beer and some pizza - but not too much.
