This is intriguing. This is the first time that I’ve heard that a correlation has been made between obesity and global warming. I know they are heavy and will take more time and energy to transport them, but I don’t think this facts will eventually, significantly affect the earth. Well, how many are the obese people in the world compared to the millions who just throw their garbage anywhere?

What a ridiculous and insulting statement – I am overweight, have been all my life yet I walk 4 – 8k’s a day, live off low fat or no fat food just to keep my weight stabilized, I can’t lose the weight but I am fit and well and work on being healthy but because I am overweight I have to put up with stupid statements made by Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts and feel a freak and not want to be seen, I don’t think Mr Edwards and Mr Roberts would have any idea how statements like that hurt people. They should spend their time trying to alleviate bad foods sold in supermarkets etc. There are plenty of thin people who eat huge amounts of food but don’t put on weight – and don’t exercise but they don’t get ridiculed.

I think it is splitting hairs to say obesity is what is making global warming worse. I think that obesity, like g.w. is a symtom of a bigger problem facing the world--the unhealthiness of our culture in general. jh bodanutrition

Well it is more that many people actually are obese, because there are two many added ingrediances to become addicted to the foods. So yes, in a way obese people are making it worse, but that is becuase the production made them addicted to the junk food first. So obese people are not to blame. How come it use to be that only those with hormonal problems were obese, that is because we ate natural food and did not depend on the car for transportation as today.

Actually, it is our government that is MAKING people obese due to all the toxic chemicals in our environment. Most people judge obese people for overeating or eating the wrong foods when alot of obesity has been shown to be caused by toxicity and also by the standard american diet, which can often even be foods that are thought to be healthy for us but are really not.

Feel free to read my blog on eating the right healthy foods, which discusses my long term health challenges, including obesity, despite eating healthy foods.
