A new study from the New England Journal of Medicine indicates the current obesity epidemic trends in the United States are much worse than thought. The study was published on Wednesday and already has demographers, government officials, and scientist alarmed. The sobering report finds 57.3% of the nation’s children and teens will be obese by the age of 35 if the model continues.

America’s empire is now cracking under the weight of the millennial and the homeland generations’ poor eating habits.



This study is unique and goes beyond any previous research suggesting unhealthy childhood weights leading to adult obesity, exclaimed USA Today. Further, the article suggests the millennial and homeland generation children may have just ushered in a “world where obesity could soon be the new normal”.

Overall half of the people who will be obese at 35 already are obese at 20, Ward said.

And of course, scientist blame the obesity crisis ravaging America’s younger generations on “profound changes in physical activity and diet”. Millennials are sitting in their parent’s basements too broke to afford avocado and toast, while binge-watching Netflix.

They may be too broke but they still order and eat too much avocado and toast. If you're really broke and want to fix it, you reduce your meals. 1-2 meals a day is plenty for a sedentary lifestyle.

They really need to start charging the morbidly obese much more for health insurance. This might also be an incentive for parents of fat kids to do something if they are paying more to insure them.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there's a thumb on your hand boomers.

I don't deny that people are way out of shape and don't have a few extra inches on their belly.
But people that size are less than 7% of the entire population. it's just more revision rhetoric divide and conquer bullshit.

Then you say... "Well uh how come when I go to Wal Mart everyone in line is wearing two bed spreads sewn together?"

You're right there's about 250 people at the company I work for. I would say there is less than 8 that size or bigger.

Shit, if they are too fat to climb up the stairs of Mom's basement, they may be the only survivors after Kim JongUn drops the nukes.

Fat acceptance is accepting your significantly shorter life. It really needs to stop.

Only if the basement has lead lining. Would they even be missed?
