Lardification Of America --

[SAMSONite]

Lardification . . .

The federal agencies who keep track of this stuff in the US just released this item:

In 1985 no state in the union had a 20% portion of their population who was clinically obese. Clinically Obese is defined as a BMI (Body Mass Index) above 30.

Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of his or her height.

Now, in 2011, only one state has less than 20% of their population who is clinically obese. That state is Colorado at 19.88%.

Maximum weight capacity on household bathroom scales used to be 250 lbs. -- back in 1975. Then it went to 300 lbs. Currently, standard max. capacity for household bathroom scales is 400 lbs.

Heart disease, due largely to being overweight, is the number one cause of death in the US, followed closely by smoking.

Smoking doesn't kill people

I'm not fat, so therefore I'm doing my part. But even if I was fat, I would say that it was no one else's business but my own.

Smoking doesn't cause death, lung cancer does.

people will just smoke salads.

It was either Kings or Bravos or something like that, but in the 50's there was a cigarette made that used flavored cabbage rather than tobacco.

i bet they were crisp and made you lean towards the sun.

It's not like they're free.....wait, they are..oh my damn!

No wonder we can offer The SCOOTER Store Guaranteed Freedom Program. With 96% of our claims approved by CMS, seldom is someone qualified by our program denied. But on the rare occasion it does happen, we stand by our word and give them their power chair absolutely FREE.

It's just sad. But the height to weight measurement isn't a 100% accurate way to find BMI, but it does show an alarming trend.

Where is the study to see how many Americans have become big boned or have thyroid problems?
