Where has the slender American gone? What are the dynamics that are fueling the fattening of America? I will attempt to shed some light on these questions and give you food for thought. Yes it is much better to fatten the mind with food for thought than your waistline with Americas new diet.
There is a monster loose in America and it is quickly becoming the number one killer. What kind of a monster could, you may ask, be gaining this kind of notoriety. Well folks the monster is obesity. It is fueled by money from the fast food industry and the ever changing face of the American way of life. We will touch lightly on both of these fuel sources for obesity.
Lets begin with the money that the fast food industry reaps from making us fat. This includes not only McDonalds and similar fast food places but your chain restaurants,delis, bars and buffets etc. Even the supermarket grocery stores.
Due to changes in food technology such as the ability to produce food that tastes good, is easy to cook and has a long shelf life there are billions of dollars being made. The profits are such, with modern technology at work, that food service establishments can not only get you in and out faster but they can afford to serve larger portions for less money. You can super-size most any meal. It’s a win win situation for them because the larger portions and the speed with which they are delivered will certainly keep you coming back for more.
Of course this is where the changing lifestyle of America feeds the monster. With more and more women fleeing the kitchen for the workforce the need for convenient food for the family becomes a necessity. In our fast paced culture nobody has the time to cook and sit down to eat an old fashioned family meal. Just throw some precooked food in the microwave, maybe order a pizza, or head out to your favorite eating place. Not only can you get plenty to eat but you save time on cooking and cleanup. This fits right in with the new pace of American life.
Snacks have become a billion dollar industry too. The food industry is dedicated to manufacturing an endless supply of new snacks. There is a new one on the market every day. This is also true of the beverage industry. Pepsi, Pepsi Light,Pepsi Blue, Pepsi this, and Pepsi that. You get the idea. Maybe you would like to have a high calorie energy drink. There is only a couple of dozen or so to choose from.
The foods that we eat now are much higher in calories than a good old fashioned meal like grandma used to cook. The meals we eat today, chain restaurant meals, fast food meals, snack foods, soda pop and the like are just brimming with calories. A large order of French fries at a fast food restaurant will contain in the neighborhood of 500 plus calories. We consume considerably more calories in our food today than we did just a few years ago.
This of course causes us to begin to get fat. The cycle has begun. The heavier we get the more we eat. Our cravings for high calorie foods increases. It is a subtle cycle in the beginning but sooner or later if we are not careful the monster gets us. We become obese from months or years stuck in the cycle. We know we are getting heavier but the cycle is extremely hard to break.
The cost of being overweight in America is killing the health insurance industry. An overweight person costs the insurance industry approximately ten thousand more than for a normal weight person over a life span. We all pay for this in higher premiums and poorer medical coverage.
Even as more women are entering the workforce, if you are an overweight white woman you will not get paid as much as a normal weight white woman. Statistics are also showing us that overweight children have twice the chance to become fat Americans as their normal weight peers.The statisticians tell us that 60% of us are overweight today and that nearly 25% of Americans will be obese by 2010. More than five million Americans meet the government definition of morbid obesity. What this means is that they are so fat that they qualify for a surgical technique, gastroplasty, to reduce the size of their stomachs.
Fellow Americans the monster is at your door. Now. It is looking to kill or disable one of your family members. Perhaps it is after you. How do you stop it and protect yourself or those you love?
The weapon, or silver bullet used to kill the monster, has been around for a long time. We just have to learn how to use it. It is called a DIET. A diet includes major changes in your lifestyle. Everything from the food that you eat to the way and amount of exercise that you get.
There are many dozens of different diets that you can use. The secret is that you have to get motivated enough to change your life. A diet without the effort to see it through is like a gun without the silver bullet. You will never stop the monster without the bullet.
Several weight control diets have been making the rounds in America for the last several years. Diets like the Atkins Diet,The South Beach Diet, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and dozens of others. The frequency of obesity over the last ten years has still been increasing. Why? Because people just don’t load the silver bullet in the gun. They want the results without the effort.
