Still, I wonder if the word obese is being a little over used. I just found I am technically obese. WOW---you'd think I'd know that without having to be told. But I don't have rolls--no big pot belly---no cottage cheese hanging--I don't think I would stand out in the crowd as the "fat guy" or even the "heavy" guy, yet somebody has decided my body fat makes me obese. Does this system make total sense?? Watch out Richard Simmons, you're starting to look a little chunky. I know there is an obesity…just look around and its obvious.

If anything this "shock" information will motivate the masses to get more involved in a healthier lifestyle....I am an optimist and believe that this junk food, inactive lifestyle will decrease as the awareness spreads. How about incentive based programs for company's to promote a healthier lifestyle? Maybe the insurance companies should offer better discounts for healthier individuals?

I believe the most efficient way to change this panorama is to educate the children at their school, by offering good and health food and banning junk foods and pops. This should be followed by sessions with their parents to inform them what those changes are necessary. The problem I believe is that we live in a society that wants everything fast and changing habits it's a long process. It’s hard to say what needs to change in just a few words.

We are biologically programmed to gourge when we see food. That worked great when we lived on the Serengeti, but isn't too cool when we are downing in options. Case in point, I wrote in my blog last week about taking the test from Dr Oz on Oprah.com. One of the questions still haunts me. Do you stop eating before you are full? How do you do that? I do not know how to stop eating before I'm full. I'm not obese, but I'm a middle aged women who doesn't have the body I had at 20. There are things I do I know I shouldn't and I don't know how to stop. The point I'm trying to make there's alot more to this than just having the right information. Great topic!!!

Our lives (in general) have become so sedentary. I think that the only way to work our way out of this hole in the long term is to start with the younger generation and try to instill in them a love of healthy food (easier said than done) and activity (again, easier said than done with all of the sedentary media out there).
