It is that famous year that all us American's look forward too; Thanksgiving. And why? Ask any person between the ages of 2-58 and they'll tell you. Food! As a modest person I must yes, this is why I like Thanksgiving too. But not to go without saying it shamelessly. On average, adults are 33.8% obese, which is one-third of U.S. adults. Approximately 17%, or 12.5 MILLION of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years of age are obese. That is a lot of fat individuals. On the contrary, 925 MILLION people do not have enough to eat. 98% of them live in developing countries. 10.9 MILLION children under five die in developing countries. 60% of those deaths can be accounted by malnutrition and hunger-related diseases. 571,950 people in America were expected to die from cancer in 2011. That's 1,500 people dying from cancer each day. Okay, time to compare.The only reason why cancer might be more prevalent coming from developing countries is because they encounter more cancer from disease. The diseases are, hepatitis virus (B & C), or human papillomavirus which causes 98% of cervical cancers.
I'm sure you are all bright enough to draw your own conclusions, or at least be able to finish mine. I am done trying to persuade people to think my way or not. It's quite exhausting actually. But here are the facts. Enjoy your Thanksgiving you fat fucks. ;)
"There is no region in the world that has a high incidence of breast cancer without a concurrent colon cancer burden."
"The Western lifestyle is characterized by a highly caloric diet, rich in fat, refined carbohydrates and animal protein, combined with low physical activity, resulting in an overall energy imbalance. It is associated with a multitude of disease conditions, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arterial hypertension and cancer."

I think you need to consider Kinesiology as a major choice. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteHaha why so?
ReplyDeleteBecause you obviously have a passion for fitness that compels you to articulate your hatred for obesity. Plus I read somewhere that you were interested in Physical Therapy. You know I work at two physical therapy clinics right? I could tell you all about it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the worst written article I have ever produced. But um, eh i don't know that i am really interested in physical therapy that much. Actually i don't really know what i am interested in to be honest. That is pretty cool, you should fix me up!
