Today is a day of shame for Aussies, we became the fattest nation on the planet!!!!!!!!!!
Today they announced that 26% of our population was obese compared to 25% of Americans, in all of the war movies you see the lean, fit, bronzed ANZAC of the 2nd world war era, but today it is just a memory. What we see on the street today more closely resembles waddling,clothed penguins, ducking into takeaways or haunting the junk food section of supermarkets, and if by chance you stop to talk to them, they will all give you a free lecture on nutrition. Everyone else is fat they are big boned. If they had a brain scan they would be diagnosed with haemorrhoids.
Millions of people adopt a healthy lifestyle/eating program every day, worldwide, and reap the rewards, less of every major disease. Eat less calories than you burn up, it couldn't get any simpler, it has been proven to work in every well conducted study, yet it still gets challenged more than the theory of evolution.
We can't do it, we would have to make too many changes, we wouldn't enjoy this. Even if a pill existed that could magically strip the weight off you (and it doesn't), you would still have to contend with the free radicals created by eating excessive amounts of food. Good food contains a lot more than just calories, skipping the major components we find things like flavonoids which appear to confer protection against cancer, heart disease and inflammation in populations that regularly consume them, but still we prefer to make somebody rich by taking a useless pill, even Homer Simpson wouldn't fall for this one.
