The following report is by The Trends Journal:
Americans have the highest rate of chronic diseases in the world as obesity continues to skyrocket since the 1980s—with 42 percent of adults and 18 percent of youth who fit into this category.
The trend has given way to the development of the so-called “obesity-industrial complex,” which is a play on President Dwight Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex.”
Ben Bartee, an independent Bangkok-based journalist, wrote in The Daily Bell that there are clear similarities between the two and “much like the military-industrial complex, in which weapons contractors launder scare stories through the media to induce support for more war, which they profit off of, the obesity-industrial complex benefits from perpetuating chronic disease because that’s how their bread gets buttered.”
He wrote that there has been an evolution in how obesity gets framed in the U.S. in recent years, and it is now seen as a medical problem in need of medication instead of lifestyle changes.
TRENDPOST: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said about 14.7 million children from two to 19 years old are obese, or about 19.7 percent. About six percent have what is considered severe obesity. Researchers have said the number is likely even higher now because these statistics were collected before the COVID-19 outbreak.
Dr. David Katz, a specialist in preventive and lifestyle medicine and president of the True Health Initiative in Tulsa, told NPR earlier this year that the U.S. is losing its battle against childhood obesity.
Stated bluntly, this a national disgrace, because this problem is one with dire consequences that we could fix any time we genuinely committed to doing so. The problem worsens because far more resources are invested in propagating the problem than in fixing it.
He told the news outlet.
The U.S. is recording a jump in young people being diagnosed with cancer, according to a report in The Hill, citing Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology. Cancer rates among those under 50 – which is called “early-onset”—have been climbing.
The report said researchers are not entirely sure why cancer rates are increasing and some believe an increased amount of screening may be playing a role in discovering new cases.
But the report said the obesity epidemic could also be playing an oversized role—considering that cancers like uterine and breast have been tied to being overweight.
“Obesity-related cancers” have seen a more “dramatic” jump in cases in recent years. One Harvard researcher called obesity a major contributor to the jump in early-onset cases of cancer, the report said.
The report also went on to say what other outside factors—including sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meats, and sedentary lifestyles are likely contributing factors.

[10] He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. [11] When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? Ecclesiastes 5:10-11
What Americans have done to themselves and allowed to have happen to them is just disheartening and disgusting. People anymore looks absolutely atrocious, and they are habitually sick all the time, and simply are a very stupid and fickle people. Once convenience increased and physical increased, that left more room to eat and not burn off those calories and adequately metabolize the food. Then the Food Pyramid came along in the late-70’s and early 80’s, which provided the most ridiculous health advice ever that has destroyed generations; coupled with toxic and conventional agricultural and food practices, that were and still are designed to make people sick, tired, dumb, and unsatiated.
America is a nation with the most doctors and spends the most on healthcare, and yet we easily are the sickest and most unhealthy nation, uncontested. Can anyone else not see the obvious discrepancy?
Meanwhile the health leaders in this country in charge of the food and diet want us to believe that MM&Ms, sugar sweets and highly-processed cereals, and fake eggs cooked in vegetable seed oils, are healthier than ground beef, a real egg, and cheese are to be reduced.
Meanwhile schools nationwide will now be serving Kraft-Heinz Lunchables as an actual meal, but the food quality is so insanely bad the government actually is requiring them to remove some ingredients so they can be served! Or how about the fact that Coca-Cola and Pepsi are used as cheap bug repellants in India? So, nature’s decomposers won’t eat it, but we are told that it is “generally safe” to consume? No wonder people are so sick and obese.

Don’t be like this, be set apart from all the rest.
[1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. [3] For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: [4] Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: [5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. [6] For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 1 Peter 4:1-6
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Another canary in the coal mine that America is F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D!
Rejecting the King James Bible and the true Jesus thereof and accepting church buildings, man’s traditions, freemasonry, the Vatican, and PerVersions of God’s word and EVIL was on the high-rise.
Americans are not only evil, prideful, and stupid with false professions of faith, but they’re OBESE GLUTTONOUS BUFFALOS!
I used to be fat at 234 lbs, but even in my overweight state, I was an anorexic compared to these foodies that will eat anything and everything in sight! If it’s edible, they’ll eat it.
Then when the Jesuits take over, China or Russia attack, et cetera, these obese heathens will be so easy to overpower an infant could do it!
The last time I ate McDonald’s I felt sick, I almost threw up. I am not eating from their disgusting menus anymore! The only thing I rarely even eat, is their soft ice-cream, because my husband wants it on a really hot day in Tokyo. Other than that, I wouldn’t even buy it if I were by myself! I’ve seen the timelapse videos of that “food”. It’s NOT food! It’s poison!
cynthia in that case you and him can make it at home and have it all year around in your freezer.
use frozen bananas to substitute for the cream and add any organic frozen fruit you want all in a blender
and thats it you have home made icecream.
it tastes way better too and just as sweet and creamy.
hope this blesses you and you husband!
Growing up in the 60’s-80’s we rarely saw obese people. What has changed?
Factors: GMO foods, hormones/steroids in livestock, psychotropics/anti-depressants, steroids for conditions of health/sports, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol levels are high due to stress, fast food, lack of exercise due to many reasons, diet, too much salt along with too much processed food/sugar, technology that has cause too much sitting/television watch time.
In the state of Maine people are in pretty good shape. I rarely saw anyone obese. Observing I saw the diet was healthier, people being active constantly, hardly any fast-food places, overall better quality of living.
I forgot to add emotional eating/binging to the factor list.
We need to get a handle on this, or we will see the younger generation dying at an unprecedented rate compared to their older counterparts.
Solution if able bodied: Moving, walking, exercise moderately, half the salt/half the sugar, eliminate processed foods, get off antidepressants if able, get thyroid checked, curb emotional eating, portion foods, buy organic/non-gmo/hormone-steroid free products. Cut stress from the job/toxic people. These simple steps can make the weight come off trust me. Enjoy nature, help to pick up litter and the beauty will shine in you and the surroundings.
