The Views of the Children.

You know, us kids are just going to repeat what the adults or school tells us unless we do our own research. We're repeating bullet points from the news.

Such as the "addiction" bit, and how evil fast food is. The chemicals make it taste better. You can stop eating it easily. Not an addiction. Public transport doesn't actually solve anything but the gas you pay for. There's plenty of reasons a company's not just out to take all your money then kill you. Such as "Healthier Resturants". If you want healthier food, go there. There's also "Dead customers can't give us money", and "People would sue us," etc, etc.

Besides no one will listen to us even if we were able to come up with a solution. They'd just say "Go away you're stupid kids", or "Pssh you're just repeating propaganda". The second bit seems to almost be true.

Productive post, bro!@Craig

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

-.-...

There are certain additives, ie: Monosodium Glutamate, aka: MSG, that acts as a sort of "taste enhancer", they say, but is actually a somewhat addictive substance. Have you ever had a bag of, say, Doritos[bleh,] and decide to eat eat only a few. Later on, you find you've eaten half the damn bag.

And obesity genetic.

@Craig: Posting merely to tell someone he obvious is considered spam, bro.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

*Obesity is genetic, my bad.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

LIKE I said before, less than 6% of obesity cases are genetics, and even then they don't have to be fat, they'd just need to try harder and eat less calories..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

@Neon & Craig: Look at the average food item you find at a store. Most anything these days has roughly 100-290 calories. It is. It's not like you balloon at age 2 to the size of Kirby, it's the fact that your body won't handle calories and sugar as well, creating mass inflation of the fat cells from near any food.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Do you happen to know how you get the "genetic obesity" like, do you just get it from having obese parents, or what? Because if that's the case, certain countries are so doomed.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

@Neon: Har-freaking-har, another stab at the United States of Fat-Asses.

It all comes down to the family tree, and essentially how their bodies processed such things. Genetics takes its role, boom.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Actually there are more countries than the USA, like England, and Canada is even pretty bad now.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

I find it hard to believe that applies to Canada... Then again, a LOT of beer...

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

@Ram Thats Ireland you're thinking of. Excuse the stereotypicalness.

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

Well I'd have to look it up but i'm sure we have a lot of "overweightedness" (I know, not a word) here(Canada) too.

And I think somebody said a while back that public transport doesn't help anything except the fact it costs less? I'd have to look back for it, but public transport is "good" because it means there are less vehicles on the road gassing up the place. But honestly, I'm guessing the current amount of public transport doesn't make much of a difference..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

You're thinking of the word, "obese people".

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

Well, there IS a difference between obese and overweight, but I'm sure we have our share of obese people too I guess..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Neon's right, Obese and Overweight are different, Obese applies to size, and Overweight applies to a Height-to-Age-to-Weight scale.

@Neon: I saw that post. It also helps, because it is [generally] a flat rate from Point A to Poiint B, and moves a mass majority of the people. However, budget and funding become an issue. The CTA is in debt stemming from the '90s, due to lack of funding from State and tax support. We have out-dated equipment, save for a few new buses and a roughly 223 new rail cars, which is barely enough for the rail system.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Your lucky, Craig.:P

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

A study in 2009 showed that 61.3% of adults (aged 16+) and 28.3% of children (age 2-10) were obese or overweight in England.

I say leave everything as is. It's the choice of an individual what they eat and how they use their time.

Na na na na na na na na na - BanMan!
