Have you noticed...

[saudades]

After reading a thread about this subject over on PM the other day, I went to the store that night and happened to be thinking about how America is getting fat, etc., and I suddenly had the same realization--that out of the 20-30 people I saw there, only about 2-3 people were what you could call lean. Everyone did seem to be around 20% bf or more. I couldn't tell you how many of them were round and fat. It was downright sad.

that's why they call it an epidemic...right now the US has the highest obesity rate in the world

 

[Crazymank]

It has gotten really bad in the last 15 years.

Around here in the midwest its even worse..I see young kids that are way overweight, at a very young age...

Dude i am 35yrs old and I rememebr when i was a kid in elementry school, their was always that one fat kid maybe 2 but they always stuck out cause they were fat,

Now my daughter is 12 yrs old and its the exact opposite no exageration at all, now you can pick out the couple skinny kids cause the rest of em are all fattys

i cant believe how bad kids are today, parents are realy fucking up theri kids and dont know or dont care or both! My daughter LITTERLY doesnt have a free night available after school cause if she isnt doing cheerleading, then she is in dance class at nights, if she isnt doing that its track, or softball and sometimes these activities overlap my daughter is in shape and skinny as a bone and tall like me and she sticks out like a sore thumb in school cause everyone elses kids are lazy fat fuckers!

I'm a trainer and I have 3 clients who are 13,13,14. Two girls are skinny and fit and come with their mom. We don't do anything serious, nothing they wouldn't do at soccer or bball practice. The boy I train comes with his dad and is def overwieght. I told the dad it starts with him and his habits. The dad tells me he plays computer games all day... I said "thats your biggest problem right there."

I am serious DB, I read that thread on PM the day before (3/18), and it made me think while I was at the store that night. So I didn't include that it had been inspired by a thread on PM, I still experienced the same thing, I didn't just reword someone else's post. Is it wrong to bring the same information to attention here? Many members don't frequent PM like you do (although I seem to remember you said you were through with PM and "left.") Incidentally, I don't see you posting much.

 

[DB006]

your right bro i dont post there much anymore. that place has gotten out of hand. but i do still browse, thats how i noticed how oddly similar your thread was to the original. i mean you could say its word for word in a sense.

 

[Presser]

I have brought other community topics to ours as have we had our topics broguht to others, so what

 

[saudades]

he is getting to be a cranky old man! lmao. and db bro allin good fun brutha dont blow a gasket :curse::angry:

 

[Get_Swole]

I have to agree although i did let myself go a little too far after my injury im getting back to where i was lol.

Who cares if its not original people on this site have different thoughts then over there so its good for a discussion. Not every person here surfs PM.

 

[nuknuk]

I used to coached middle school football and we had a 7th grader that weighed in at 351 lbs, talk about out of hand. I mean how does that happen?

 

[Get_Swole]

I went to school with a big guy he had a disease but he could help it a little. Could have been smaller then he was. But in 7th grade i think he weighed well over 350 as well, highschool he was prob 400+ you would never meet a nicer guy though. I felt sorry for him but what can ya do. The ones that are 350+ and can help it i could care less about, watch daytime tv sometime you will see like 10 year olds that weigh more then we do its rediculous. Their parents just let them sit home all day and eat fuckin icecream and whatever else they want.

 

[saudades]

When I was in 4th grade, I only remember two--TWO fat kids. That's it. One told me he was fat because he had diabetes and had to eat all the time though I never saw him inject any insulin. I don't remember seeing anyone else in the whole school who was fat like that. Now kids like that are all over the place. Scary.

 

[steph]

Parents don't set good examples for their kids... I mean, my parents never forced me to eat veggies and healthy stuff and I was lucky to have good genes for a while until I realized I better do something to improve/maintain my health and appearance if I wanted to keep it that way.

You should see the people I work with though. Almost everyday there's leftover food from meetings and these people can EAT. I know I eat like 3 lunches, but they're small protein/green veggie meals every 2-3 hours and I workout. These fat asses are eating sandwiches loaded with all sorts of fatty dressings, cookies, cake, brownies, pastries, bagels, etc... I mean, don't get me wrong. I LOVE crappy food as much as the next person, but I like being healthy and fit MORE! People act like they've never seen food before and try to pile as much onto their plates as they can fit. They're also the same people to complain about their weight and then make comments "oh, you're so lucky. you're young!" to me. Umm NO, I'm not "lucky" and age has nothing to do with it. I work my ass off because YOU'RE the epitome of everything I don't WANT to be. So when I'm xx years old, I'm actually gonna be HOT! (LOL, okay well that's what I wanna say! I keep my lips shut though because it's work and all!)

So yeah, that makes sense... people just don't care anymore.

You are write my friend, i love PM but i had to stop posting becouse their "experts" and some moderators are out of control, they citizize everything and they have lost the respect, you see a fight every single day with almost the same persons involved and no body do nothing.

I sitll reading almost everyday what is worth, a lot of good material and good people like Big A.

 

[dorian123]

i saw some TV show a couple of months ago, with a girl that was like 10years old and weighed over 200lbs...
her mom was an idiot, she let this kid eat anything...I mean one meal was like 5,000 calories NO SHIT! hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, donuts-everything to make you fat. from the time she woke up till she went to bed all she did was eat.

think they said the kid drank 6 liters of soda a day

doctors told the mom if the kid didn't loose weight she would be dead in a few years-it was fucking sad...felt sorry for the kid because the parents were that dumb

USE SOME COMMON FUCKING SENSE:curse:

 

[jtunderdog]

I know a girl who is 21, 4'11" and weighs 210. Her triglycerides are off the charts and is in serious danger of a heart attack. I also have a friend who has a 15 year old with a 40 plus inch waist and weighs 275 in the ninth grade. Now here is my biggest pet peave. Guys who look pregnant. I am still around 14-15 bf and I have a little more gut than I would like after the prednisone but a friend of mine who is 5ft 6 made the comment that a guy was big in the gut like us. His waist is 2 inches bigger than mine and Im nearly 6ft 1. I also love the guys who are so thin and have pot bellies. Cracks me up. I have a horrible metabolism but swear I will never be blubber boy again.
