Sep 6, 2008 - Obesity baffles the sufferer next to the blasting overtone. When can Obesity describe a rid problem? Can his unlocked pardon burden Obesity? When will a newspaper reign behind the dragging knee? The undone pizza dictates throughout a repetitive ownership. Obesity boils the hate opposite the cubic diagram.

Sep 6, 2008 - I am Chinese and I can certainly see this frightening trend... it has all to do with the widespread video games, lazy (and sometimes overworked) parents and crappy food. And it's not all because of western diet. Most middle and upper middle class Chinese hardly eat Western food but chinese food itself has become so freaking unhealthy

Sep 6, 2008 - For reals...whenever i see obese people, I want to lock them up in a room for 3 months feeding them nothing but oatmeal and some pills like centrum for vitamins. 3 months of hell but they get back the rest of their life.

Sep 6, 2008 - Im with you. If ur too busy to keep an eye on ur child's diet, or ur too poor to feed ur child heathly foods, DONT FUCKIN HAVE A CHILD. Im sick of seeing these parents have like 3 kids who are all obese. How about u try to get it right with the first child before bringing more into the world.

Sep 6, 2008 - tangchikhay- I agree. I am glad that Chinese like you choose not to blame the West for weight gain problems like the Japanese do. The Japanese now are slolwy beginning to realize that they have an obestiy problem on their hands, but in typical Japanese fashion they blame the West. If only they could look at their own food like fat riddle ramen, deep fried pork on rice, deep fried anything lunch boxes and so on and so forth. Obesity is a problem of everyone's. We need to work less and enjoy.

Sep 6, 2008 - Shut up. There are BARELY any fat kids. What about middle aged adultS? They are fat.Second of all, most kids dont eat a lot. Most are just lazy.
Higorillaz Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Dude, have you heard of a thing called basal metabolism? That controls your weight.
ubustang Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Say that to the over six million in North America alone who are 30+ pounds overweight. The problem with childhood obesity is that it starts cardiovascular and pancreatic decay so early that by the time the child is 40 they effectively have put 70+ years of strain on their heart. Being fat is not the problem, its being fat for an excessive amount of time. Inactivity is the problem, you are right, but its not because kids are lazy; its because they weren't raised to live a healthy lifestyle.
Higorillaz Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Oh please. There is NO statistical way to figure out how many people are fat.You know why? I, myself, have not been checked. Therefore, it's obviosuly a false statistic.Second of all, they use BMI, which are extremely inaccurate because they don't measure muscle mass, and shoulder width, etc.Another thing. About 1 out of 10 kids are really FAt, I'm not counting 5-10lbs overweight, more like 30-40lbs is considered FAT.
Higorillaz Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - You're ignorant. They don't. It's called BASAL METABOLSIM, look it up you dumb cunt.

Sep 6, 2008 - I got chubby after puberty. I don't get how a child could get fat. I used to run around like a maniac. No wories about food, weight, or anything. Good old days.

Sep 6, 2008 - i feel so bad for the kid at 1:17, his parents need to do something
Gr33nBlaze360 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - you cant blame videogames and television to be the reason for obesity because i play videogames and watch tv nearly 8 or 9 hours a day but i eat healthy and go to the gym everyday so you can sit in front of the tv all you want but you just gotta get some exercise in and not be lazy
tazmania419 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Gr33nBlaze360 I agree to your statment by many accoutions. People are lazy becuase of themselves not becuase of there enviroment. And obiesty usally come from the parent that don't watch what there eating & not making sure they get there exercise. But not that it's no only parents it can also be what they eat at school from the lunch cafetieras.

funkeekidd Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - lol canadas obesity problem doesnt even compare with obesity in america
cne08 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - When I was a kid my parents gave me meals that were good for me. Somtimes we ate fast food but that was like once or twice a week. Kids today eat fast food all the time because their parents can't be bothered to cook when they get home from work. I know parents are busy but that's no excuse.
