You know it, I know it and everybody else knows it. Now it is time to admit it so admit it fatty! You came to this site because you are scared shitless of the fact that you are eating yourself to death but you are not scared enough to grow up and assume some personal and social responsibility when it comes to stuffing your pie hole.
You don't need another sandwich lardass!
You are also here because you are looking for someone or something else to do what you can but won't do and that is ceasing your hedonistic and gluttonous ways. You gluttons don't eat to live, you live to eat so admit. Your food centrism and your disgusting egocentrism aka sinful pride keeps you fat, prideful and gluttonous. You are DISGUSTING!
Here is what you can do and what you WON'T do.
1. Cut out ALL junk food.
2. Keep your caloric intake at or under 2000 per day if you are a woman and 2500 if you are a man. (In most cases.)
If you won't do those simple things then do what the Bible says, in Proverbs 23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Your gluttony is a bane on the world and the people in it. You are a bane on the world and the people in it!
The health consequences, obesity has real economic costs that affect all of us. The estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21% of annual medical spending in the United States.
The Cost of Obesity In The Workplace
The costs of obesity in the workplace. ... RESULTS: Among men, estimates range from -$322 for overweight to $6087 for grade III obese men. For women, estimates range from $797 for overweight to $6694 for grade III. In aggregate, the annual costattributable to obesity among full-time employees is $73.1 billion.
At the risk of sounding like Alex Jones... here it goes... Let's start with some facts and try to tie this together. 1. In the 1970's the obesity rate was 3%. Today 35% of Americans are obese. The idiots in the fat acceptance movement and liars and crooks in the medical industry would like us to believe that somehow the obesity epidemic is caused by genetic, carbohydrates, stress, depression, anxiety, food addiction, stress, air conditioning and the boogeyman. The reason there is an obesity epidemic is because people are eat more... a LOT more. 2. The second leading cause of death and injury in the US is gluttony/obesity and the leading of death and injury is the American medical industrial complex. We lose 400,000 Americans to gluttony/obesity and we lose 1 MILLION to the greed and incompetence of the medical industry. The actual number is probably much higher. 3. The medical industry by some estimates is 20% of the US GDP 4. 1/3 of what Americans pay for health care goes to cover waste and fraud. Waste usually is fraud. 5. The FDA is the lapdog of the food, drug and medical device industries. 6. “Obese men rack up an additional $1,152 a year in medical spending, especially for hospitalizations and prescription drugs, Cawley and Chad Meyerhoefer ofLehigh University reported in January in the Journal of HealthEconomics. Obese women account for an extra $3,613 a year. Using data from 9,852 men (average BMI: 28) and 13,837 women (average BMI: 27) ages 20 to 64, among whom 28 percent were obese, the researchers found even higher costs among the uninsured: annual medical spending for an obese person was $3,271 compared with $512 for the non-obese.”Read more here. As you can see, the corporate gangsters in the medical industry cash in on the obesity epidemic and BTW your own doctor is most likely one of those gangsters.
Most people believe that doctors save far more than they harm, and that any doctor-induced injuries are usually minor. However, there is plenty of evidence that shows otherwise. In the year 2000, doctors in Israel decided to go on strike; demanding increases in pay. Before long, morticians began to notice a bizarre trend.
“The number of funerals we have performed has fallen drastically”.
— Hananya Shahor, the veteran director of Jerusalem's Kehilat Yerushalayim burial society.
The longer the doctors' strike continued, the more the death rate fell. In some locations, the death rate dropped by an astounding 50%. Unfortunately, the doctors eventually stopped their strike, and the mortality rates returned to normal again. This same thing had happened in Israel previously, almost twenty years earlier.
“There definitely is a connection between the doctors' sanctions and fewer deaths. We saw the same thing in 1983 [when the Israel Medical Association applied sanctions for four and a half months].”
— Meir Adler, manager of the Shamgar Funeral Parlour
This would be easy to dismiss as sub-standard Israeli medicine if this phenomena were restricted to just that part of the world, but similar results were seen in 1976, in Los Angeles, when doctors went on strike for just one month. The death rate quickly decreased by 18%. These shocking statistics have since been studied, and it is official; doctors are killing people.
There are, of course, rationalizations for the reductions in mortality, but they are poor. During the strikes, emergency care was always ongoing, whilst elective (unnecessary) surgeries ground to a halt. This is one of the main explanations for the lowered mortality rates during doctor's strikes, and the lack of deaths by pharmaceuticals has been ignored.
A 2008 review published in the Social Science & Medicine journal analyzed five separate incidents in which doctor strikes led to decreased mortality. They also attempted to blame the lack of elective surgeries, but in the end, they were forced to admit that "the literature suggests that reductions in mortality may result from these strikes". So, the best way to reduce deaths in this country may be to fire the doctors.
Now I will connect the dots if you haven't already. The food industry which is one of the FDA's masters spends BILLIONS on creating food flavorings that cause intense cravings that can be as powerful as nicotine, crack cocaine or heroine. Sounds like science fiction but it is science fact. Don't believe me? Does this sound too Alex Jones, too truther, too birther? If so read the following transcript from 60 Minutes.
It’s no surprise that processed foods and beverages are designed and engineered to taste good. But as you listen to Morley Safer interview several employees of Givaudan, the world’s largest flavoring and fragrance manufacturer, you quickly realize that’s delicious is not the only goal of Big Food companies. Here’s a brief part of their conversation as they talk about the creation of fruit flavorings:
Givaudan [Dawn Streich]: In our fruit flavors we’re talking about, we want a burst in the beginning. And maybe a finish that doesn’t linger too much so that you want more of it.
[Hassel]: And you don’t want a long linger, because you’re not going to eat more of it if it lingers.
60 Minutes [Morley Safer]: Aha. So I see, it’s going to be a quick fix. And then–
Givaudan [Hassel]: Have more.
60 Minutes [Morley Safer]: And then have more. But that suggests something else?
Givaudan [Hassel]: Exactly.
60 Minutes [Morley Safer]: Which is called addiction?
Givaudan [Hassel]: Exactly.
60 Minutes [Morley Safer]: You’re tryin’ to create an addictive taste?
Givaudan [Hassel]: That’s a good word.
Givaudan [Streich]: Or something that they want to go back for again and again.
Are you starting to be convinced that there may be a conspiracy at foot? When Mitt Romney said, "corporations are people my friend" I wanted him to choke to death on those words. Most corporations exist for one purpose and one purpose only and that is the bottom line. Corporations are run by CEOs COOs CFOs and boards of directors. These pieces of treasonous trash are as addicted to money as a fat girl is addicted to Doritos. They know that their food are unhealthy and "addictive". They also know that fat people eat more and they are well aware than fat people get sick more and rack up huge medical bills. The food corporations and the medical corporations work and in hand. Obesity is obscenely profitable. Making you fat makes them rich. This does not excuse you or your piggish behavior and willful ignorance so don't go using this as an excuse. You are still a responsible and the sooner you own that fact the sooner you will lose weight and reform. You did it to yourself and the corporate food gangsters merely enabled you. They see you as lambs to the slaughter and pigs to the trough. You have the power to stop eating junk food. Your gluttony is a choice. When you stop eating slop the cravings will stop.
Repeat this:When I stop eating slop the cravings will stop. When I stop eating slop the cravings will stop. When I stop eating slop the cravings will stop. When I stop eating slop the cravings will stop. If after reading this you are still stupid enough to pay some doctor to hack up your digestive system then God help you.
