Obesity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obesity is a condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be negatively affected.[1] It is commonly defined as a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher.[1] This distinguishes it from being overweight as defined by a BMI of between 25–29.9 kg/m2.[1]Excessive body weight is associated with various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.[2][3] As a result, obesity has been found to reduce life expectancy.[3] The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. If this fails, anti-obesity drugs and (in severe cases) bariatric surgery can be tried.[2][4]
A combination of excessive caloric intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility is thought to explain most cases of obesity, with a limited number of cases due solely to genetics, medical reasons, or psychiatric illness.
With rates of adult and childhood obesity increasing, authorities view it as a serious public health problem.[4] Between 1980-2000, obesity among adults has more than doubled; obesity among adolescents has tripled.[5] In the US, obesity is the second-leading cause of preventable death after smoking.[5]
Although obesity is often stigmatized in the modern Western world, it has been perceived as a symbol of wealth and fertility at other times in history.[6]
It really disturbes me that anyone would make fun of fat people on the internet. I'm not going to stop posting until 10:00 to show how much this upsets me.

Please Charles, please start posting again. I know you're reading this. Please, not during the Holidays. Children across the globe depend on your wisdom and guidance to get them through each day. I know I can't be the only one who hasn't slept since finding out you decided to abandon us.

Politics are about as fun or interesting as watching a bunch of 60 year old men roll dice to see who pays for coffee.
Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!
