Do They Want You To Stay Fat? If So, What Should You Do About It?

If you are reading this, there is a huge chance that you are fat. (No pun intended). If it’s any consolation, over two thirds of adult Americans are overweight or clinically obese. Welcome to the club, the snacks are over there.

One of the strangest things in modern history is that the more developed and well off a country gets, the fatter it’s people become. Most people in most of the developed nations today have a few extra pounds on them, to say the least.

Why are so many people in the world today so fat, and more importantly, what can we do about it? How can we get rid of the weight once and for all?

Well, most people in developed countries can make a pretty good living sitting at a desk all day long. By the way, whose turn was it to bring donuts today? Of course, if you are a lumberjack, or an MMA cage fighter, then this doesn’t apply to you.

And another clear reason that so many of us need to put in a heroic effort to button our pants every morning is the stuff we eat day in an day out. Filled with chemicals, preservatives, and other stuff that belongs in laboratory, the food we eat today can’t really be all that healthy.

What about heading out for a bite? Is it any better? No. It’s worse. Much worse. How many fast food restaurants do you think you pass by on your way to and from work everyday? Ten? Twenty? More? And how healthy do you think those places are? If you were a mad scientist, and wanted to craft some food that tasted delicious but was deadly, you couldn’t do a much better job than the fast food that is available to us today.

Because humans have evolved a kind of automatic reaction to food, it can be extremely difficult to resist an opportunity to devour whatever is in front of you. This was beneficial to our ancestors, because for them, finding food every day was a struggle. But that deep urge doesn’t help us much when we are surrounded by ice cream shops.

And what about the people behind all this? They make billions and billions every year from selling us crap. Do you think they really care if we get all the associated health problems with being fat, or even cut our lives short by ten or twenty years? Nope, didn’t think so.

While I wouldn’t go so far as to say they designed our whole nation of fat people with profit in mind, but their sure are a lot of people making a lot of money off of people that can’t resist stopping by the donut shop on their way home from work.

So what do we do? Try and exercise. Try and stay away from fast and processed food. Turn off your TV. Go for a walk. It might be difficult at first, but when you realize your life depends on it, it gets easier.
