I mean fast food clogs the heart and makes people fat and no one can avoid breathing polluted air...

amen to that.  people everywhere around the world need to realize that instead of picking up that bigmac or w/e is the best fast food or the best car, and getting on a bike and eating more healthy food.\n\nyes, there are ways to diet w/o excersise and all that, but really once you have a surgery or go on a huge diet, there's usually the person that will go right back to the diet of Twinkies and Cream Puffs.\n\nLung cancer, also, as you probably know is also caused by people smoking and from others taking in 2nd Hand smoke.  Air pollution, in our day and age, needs to be dealt with along the line with becoming less dependent on gases and becoming more dependent with renewable energy sources that can also make or air cleaner.

There is NO evidence that this is the case.  The problem is more in the prevalence of calorie-dense food and the lack of appealing "healthier" alternatives.

I agree that we should tax unhealthy food, but the money should not go to health care for people who have abused their bodies by eating crap.  The money should go to lowering the price of healthy foods.

Why you shouldn't eat fast food. I did a speech on this last semester and my professor and peers loved it. You can use clips from the movie "Super Size Me" as a visual aid.

If you're going to tell people that they can't do things to kill themselves you'll have to eliminate all fast food establishments and prepared foods in the freezer section of the grocery just for a start.  How about you do your thing and let everyone else do theirs?

Sometimes people do have lives that are not great and they turn to food for comfort.  Food like drugs can be an addiction to many people.  Food/drugs don't yell at you, don't call you names, don't put you down, don't hate you, don't beat you, etc....Yes, people who are overweight do know that in time being overweight will give them a heart-attack, stroke, high blood pressure, puts strain on your bones, make you have diabetes.  But, you also have to realize that in some homes the whole family is overweight and everyone eats the wrong stuff.  Smoking will eventually kill you, give you emphysema, had terrible smoker's cough, jaw cancer, throat cancer, lung cancer, etc....But, there are people who are thin and eat bad food and smoke and then go to the gym, they are still harming their bodies as well.  It's not always easy to shut off that I want to eat button or smoke button or do drugs button, some people don't have that switch even though they know it will kill them sooner or later.

There are some obese people in this world who don't exercise, eat too much (especially unhealthy food) and complain that it's not their fault their fat. However, I know few people who really can't lose weight no matter how hard they try.

Only if they eat dirt.  \n\nIf you're going to send all of the fat-so's to Somalia and Ethopia, the folks would probably eat THEM!!!  Obesity is a disease just like alcoholism and our present day eating habits stink.  Parents and schools should set good examples for their children or these kids will be sick and dead before they are 50.

i think it sounds like we are becoming an comunistic country trying to pass a law like that who does this country think it is to say what a person can or cant spend on food its helping our economy\n\nthere is more to obesity then buying to much food... some obese people dont eat much but what they are eating is junk and empty calories... some try to buy healthy and get things like slim fast full of preservitives and poisons....\nsome just dont exercise.. maybe we should pass a law for mandatory exercise!.... or health and nutrition classes... maybe we should stop selling a bunch of junk maybe we should make organic  and natural foods more affordable

It's a high possibility, stress can cause a lot of physical and health related problem, as well as eating unhealthy foods

Yes it is. Most foods are processed or have preservatives to make it last longer. But our lifestyle dictated that change. There is still healthy food out there, but no one has time to buy and cook fresh food everyday. There are just too many things going on. The best thing I did and what alot of people can do is stop eating fast food. That is the worst for you.

We have too much food. Well fed people are not well motivated. When it took all day just to put a meal on the table, people worked their a$$es off.

I think everybody's body is different. Some people who drink, smoke and never exercise live to be 100. Other people who are very health conscious drop dead at 45 from a pulmonary embolism. It certainly can't hurt to eat healthy though. Most people's body's can't handle the abuse of trans fats and tobacco for very long before they start having health problems. People like your grandfather are few and far between.\n\nIn answer to your question about whether or not I hate the self-righeous bastards who preach about eating healthy, yes I do. I can barely get the food in my mouth before my fiance is telling me how bad it is for me. I do try to live a healthy lifestyle, but every once in a while you want to eat a ton of fried food or ice cream or whatever it is you're craving. It's not gonna kill you. It's not something you can do every day, but people are just way too uptight about it.

NO. \n\n1. Secondhand smoke is DANGEROUS and the SMOKE does not know to stay out of the "non-smoking" section.\n\n2. An addictive narcotic is not added to fast food.\n\n3. Smoking does more damage than poor eating habits.\n\n4. The fast food makers did not LIE about what is in their products.

It is surely not good for health.
