The obesity rate is reportedly on the rise in America... but does anyone care?

The obesity rate is reportedly on the rise in America... but does anyone care?it doesn't seem to me that people are any bigger than they were before but the real question I am asking is... Do you think the majority of people are really actually concerned about being overweight?

If you were a parent with an overweight child, would you "fix" him/her or would you continue to love them the same? or both? Would you even notice at all?

lots of questions in this one... sorry.

Your right about Obesity in this country. Its really getting out of hand I think. Its so easy these days to get carried away with the false hunger , and the bordom eater. I know this for a fact. Now there are some that have health issues that make them heavy. This I know as well. I would however love humans just the same.....P.S. I am working on helping myself and some in my family with eating problems that will be a problem in the near future...
No need to apologise. Its great to ask ...

No they dont care, they want to wait until they have crazy health problems then maybe they can sue someone for making them fat.

I care. I am also sick of people calling us Americans Fat slobs.

I get concerned and worry for people that are overweight and wish I could motivate them and wanting to change their life.

If my kid was overweight, of course I'd still love them, but I'd try and help them lose weight so they can be healthier...and to save them the humiliation of being teased.
And I don't know about the majority of people, but I am concerned about being overweight, and I am doing something about it.

lots of people DO care, but can't/ won't do anything about it. it's all a mind game. maybe if we closed down all the fast food places, we could make a difference in what we look like. Maybe if we didn't buy our kids PSP's and Nintendo's, we could allow them to run around outside like in the good-old-days (of course, with plenty of sunblock!!!). Maybe if we shopped for groceries a little bit smarter, we could get our kids accustomed to eating healthy snacks as opposed to junk food (chips, cookies, donuts, etc.). but nobody is doing that. we are ALL in control of our weight. we need to take our waistline back and get control of our lives.

Yes indeed!!!
