(Says: http://web4health.info/it/ed-dia-ed-def.htm) And in many ways this is all true; from obesity to anorexia. It is estimated that 8 million Americans have an eating disorder: 7 million woman and 1 million men. Nearly half of the American population know someone in America who has an eating disorder. So America as a whole has an eating disorder? Defiantly. Because not only do the 8 million Americans, out of the total population of 310 million, have eating disorders, but things such as McDonald's, Burger King and any other fast food place do not help the rest of America from over indulging on greasy trans fats. So yes I believe that America has an eating disorder, but from the stand point of not obesity or anorexia; more or less that America is growing fat and the bar for what is obesity has risen.

Do you know the weight and height ratio that is considered obese?
ReplyDeleteMake sure you comment on your group members comments.
you agree with it but come on man you do think its stupid and ridiculous right? those dumb people are like ignorant they should actually consider what healthy and what makes them monsters idk just what i think
ReplyDeleteit makes me sad to think that women are the weaker links in the food chain, and we too easily give into food temptations. ray-- your comment doesn't make sense because your blog is agreeing to the same statement Matt's is.. and in defense of most Americans, they just don't know how to eat and they are ignorant about food information. If more Americans chose to better educate themselves and chose to care about the things they were putting in their body "the golden arches" would shut down. Sadly, no body actually cares, and until they do things will just remain the same :(
