This is just a slideshow showing the increasing obesity rates from 1985 - 2008.

Wow. It seems to have increased dramatically in the last five years or so.

We've been pointing out that widespread obesity is definitely a recent phenomenon, and to explain it with genetics is to insult logic.

This isn't rocket science. Americans eat based on a "food pyramid" that is criminal, consuming fake food(s), loaded with hydrogenated, damaged fats, high fructose corn syrup and chemicals many can't even pronounce.

Only when we demand a healthier food source, by choosing not to pay for these fake foods, laden with all this garbage, will we begin to see a turn around in this horrible downward spiral of American health/wellness.

I got this genetics excuse crap from my mother –in-law when coincidentally my wife was laden with post baby fat. She told me that Norwegians naturally tend to be overweight so I checked out the incidence of obesity in Norway and guess what? They happen to be one of thinnest, most fit nations in the world. So much for that excuse and I never had to hear that Oprah inspired propaganda again.
