I see the excuses are coming out like hot air from a balloon. Yes, I do accept that there are a very small minority of obese people that are overweight due to legitimate medical conditions. For the other 95+% of you, there is no such thing as food addiction. You control your hands, you control your mouths, your food buying decisions. Not everything that we do in life that is harmful is an addiction. I long for the day when Americans took personal responsibility for their decisions and the results of those decisions. Too bad that Americans today always look for excuses for their problems (let's blame McDonalds!) instead of taking control over their own lives. Like I said, you own your hands, your mouths and your wallet, so just get over your self-pity and do something about it.

It's a very rare Obese person that can't correct their weight problem with proper diet and exercise. Any one of them that disagrees can put themselves in my care and in one year with me totally controlling what food they eat and the amount of execise they have I'll have them healthy in no time. VERY rarely a person has a medical condition that makes them as fat as they are.

We all know that the FDA, pharmaceutical companies and the government are all in bed together. Why would they try to find a cure for obesity when they can make money off of drugs. Why would they want to ruin a million dollar industry? Why would they want to eat healthy? There is to much for them to lose if a cure for obesity was found.

YOUR ALL WRONG. IF SOMEONE KNEW WHAT TO DO ABOUT OBESITY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO AND WE'D ALL BE THIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DESCRIPTION OF WHO WAS AN OK THIN OR A TO BIG THIN, OR A TO THIN, THIN. NO ONE HAS THE ANSWERS, OR IF YOU DO, PLEASE STEP FORWARD, AS ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN IN WOULD LISTEN. MOST OF WHAT WAS LISTED DOESN'T WORK FOR ALL OF US WOULD BE THIN PEOPLE IF YOU HAD THE "CORRECT" ANSWER.

They are using these studies to explain why treatment should be rationed. The idea is your obese by choice so it's alternative treatment. It is sad and disgusting in my opinion just like many other things in the public plan. Be preparedthegreen party has been working the Univeristy research programs (through federal grants) to demonize people with obesity. BTW My husband is 6'1 and they say he should be 185 - yeah when he was 185 his ribs were showing and he looked sick. I think something is wrong with the pyramid also - when it comes to men.I am considered healthy weight and a size 8 so I think that's appropriate, but my husband shares a similar story to Lee. He eats 2000 calories a day. He works hard, and his body is in a stalemate and is not dropping into what "they" say is overweight. Big Brother is here.

If the Obama regime is going to pass this health bill in a hurry,the citizens of these United States need to protest by not paying any more taxes.If we stop paying taxes then where will they get the money to squander?

Obesity has many causes both emotional, spiritual and physical. My admiration goes to the gentleman who dropped the 100+ pounds. I'm glad it worked for you; it doesn't work that easily for everybody. I have been fat since I was a kid and have been trying to overcome it all my life. I have never been on welfare, my only periods of unemployment were for school and I pay my taxes. At 6'2" and 235lbs, I could run 1 1/2 in 9 minutes and could run a 1/2 marathon. My ideal weight according to many scales is about 185. As I have grown older over the past 20 years, my weight has increased to 350 and has made it much harder to exercise so I am no where near where I was, but I do still exercise regularly. I fully accept that my inability to regulate the amount of food I should consume is my responsibility to address, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Food addiction is very real and it is not an addiction that you can treat just from absolute abstinence. People have to eat. But just like any addiction, it is more emotional and spiritual than physical; however, after all of these years, I no longer get "hungry" or "full". These gauges in me are just broke. Anyway, I know it is difficult for some people to understand, but just "don't eat" is not as easy as it sounds. It is a real life-long struggle for some. Lee

So I guess all those linebackers for the Chicago Bears and all the other NFL teams are a bunch of fatties? Give me a break...and on top of that why is a small report done at a virtually non-existant college of a minute case study is the bible? Typical of thin people to sit around and pull punches on people who have more meat on them and typical of fat people to take defense and say they are porkers and are completely healthy. Whatever happened to an individuals rights? The era of entitlements is soon to be over....thankfully. Tired of skinny people and fat people and all different kinds of people sticking their hands out and pulling the victim card. Its America! You have the right to pursue happiness be it skinny or fat!

i think since our Communist Government is in the mood of spending we take care of the issue of Obesity by having a National Physical fitness program that makes it mandatory that you get into a health club.

keep in mind this is a REPORT , not a clinical study. This was done in response to what A hospital was seeing. True, it does have ALL the answers, but it does provide a possible early warning to otherwise healthy obese people.

I enjoy life as a 6'1" tall 200 lb man. I can do things like: scratch any spot on my back; get out of narrow armchairs; see my toes; fit easily in regular sized cars; not crush my wife (or dog) if I roll over at night; not have heart conditions or diabetes; fit through narrow doorways easily; run for distances greater than a few yards; sit/stand on furniture without fear of it collapsing; climb stairs quickly; dress/undress easily; etc. I have often thought, "Would I still be able to do this if I weighed forty pounds more?" Sometimes I find that even forty extra pounds on my frame would greatly reduce my abilities to do the simple things that I am able to do now. If you are overweight and don't feel like any of this matters, then power to you for being strong enough to sacrifice those things. But I am just a weak, selfish person who would like to be able to do those little things without a struggle. p.s. I realize that genetics plays a role in every persons body type, and, with the same habits that I have, some people would still be overweight. But if it's easy, it doesn't mean as much as if you have to work at it harder than everybody else.

Please, the study population is WAY TOO SMALL for any defensible conclusion and don't confuse the statistical term of "Median" with "Normal". Normal may be defined as 1 standard deviation from the median, which includes many people outside the AMA's target guidelines. Let's not get rediculous here with unsubstantiated anaylsis.

Being a healthy weight is a simple thing. Energy in, energy out. I was morbidly obese till I came to accept this. I eat much smaller meals now, eat healthy foods ONLY at least 90% of the time, cut way back on fats, carbs, sugars, processed foods, fast foods and restaurant food. I started to go to the gym at least 4-5 days per week and sometimes 6. Lo and behold, I dropped a full size man in 12 months. It's not magic, it's simply accepting that you DO NOT need nearly as much food/calories as you think. I am doing just fine on 1800 calories per day and burning off an average of 2400 calories per week at the gym. So to all you overweight and obese folks out there - stop deluding yourself. You are responsible 100% for your condition just as I was. Until you can change your mental attitude, you won't change your physical condition. Stop making excuses and CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Matt, I have to take issue with what you said. Numbers can be a scary thing and yes, I believe this is just another "scare tactic" if you will, meant to get obese and overweight people like myself to lose weight. Not all overweight/obese people have health problems, myself included. I go to the doctor yearly. I have never had any issues with cholesterol or high blood pressure. My hear is working perfectly and besides complications while pregnant with twins and appendicitis (both of which are VERY common is people of ALL sizes) I have never had any major health issues. Your comments almost make it sound like you assume we like to be overweight/obese. That is not necessarily the case. I work my butt off at the gym and I am a VERY active person. I have always been "big" and I know that no matter how much I work and no matter how active I am, I will never be "skinny". My body was just not designed that way. I think body size is relative. You have to be healthy and I do believe you can be healthy and overweight at the same time. You may not agree and that's your opinion. I respect that and you should do your part to respect others opinions.
