I know, there really isn’t any good news in that headline. Americans are steadily getting poorer, fatter and sicker and yet most people continue to operate under the delusion that things are somehow going to get better. Sadly, not only are we not better off than we were four years ago, the truth is that things have been getting worse for a very long time. Median household income in the United States has declined for four years in a row, and it has fallen by more than $4000 overall since Barack Obama has been in the White House. Yet the media insists that we are in the midst of an “economic recovery”. A higher percentage of Americans are obese or severely obese than ever before, and Baby Boomers are much sicker than their parents were at the same age. Yet we are supposedly a “health conscious” nation. Technology is advancing faster than we have ever seen before in human history, but the life expectancy of poor Americans has dropped significantly in recent years. So exactly what in the world is going on here?
It seems like there is a health food store or a vitamin store on almost every corner, and yet as a whole we are in much worse condition than our parents were. The following is from a recent news story by the CBS News affiliate in Washington D.C…..

What an airhead! Obama picked him so to make him look good.
It's a cycle with these handicapped obese people. They become immobile due to obesity. They start putting on the weight which adversly effects their bones and joints and makes movement difficult and painful. Then they end up using wheelchairs which makes them more immobile.
No matter what, try as hard as you can to keep on moving and this includes doing stairs which prevents your knees from locking up.
JT in 5 years!
I think Walmart manufactures these people. Seems to be way too many around in their store.

YES
Judging by the slippers, its a woman. Very sad.
Not only do you need to keep moving but a lifestyle change is necessary. Forget dieting but go for gradual subtle changes such as eating pretzels instead of potato chips to eliminate the fats. Eat gummy bears or jelly beans instead of chocolate. Eat popsickles instead of ice cream. Vanilla wafer cookies or graham crackers instead of Oreos. If you feel like a hamburger make it at home and make it a bit smaller than you normally would and then have it open faced without cheese. Eliminating as many fats as you can and just going down slightly on the portions and you will lose weight. No sugary drinks either and this includes diet sodas. Water is best and black coffee or tea w/lemon only.
I know of someone who followed this routine more than 30 years ago and lost 40 lbs and has never gained it back because they have stuck to these rules.
How do these folks work to pay for all that food?
Crappy, boxed, fatty, salty food is usually cheaper and quicker.
