people make fun of overweight people but what about pets?overweight pets are peoples doing.have you ever seen a fat animal in the wild?do you care about your pets weight?

They absolutely are. Overweight animals are at higher risk for diabetes, heart problems, and loads of other issues depending on breed type. They also tend to live shorter lives than their leaner counterparts. It is sad that many people think it’s "funny" or "cute" when their animal is overweight, but in reality it’s just sad and cruel to the animal.

How many of the 45 million Americans who don’t have health insurance do you think are overweight, never/rarely?

27% are young college graduates that would rather spend their money on other things, because they have no family to take care of yet.

Health Risks of Being Overweight

Many people don’t know that there are numerous health risks associated with being overweight and obese. To get an idea of how big of a danger to your health being overweight is, we’ll examine some of the possible risks involved.

STROKE AND HEART DISEASE

The number one cause of disability and death among people in the united States is heart disease and stroke. Hypertension is more common among those that are overweight. This condition is one of the major risk factors of heart disease and stroke. Other risk factors of these are triglycerides and increased cholesterol levels which are associated with obesity.

When you are overweight the heart has to work harder which is a factor in angina and death from a stroke or heart disease. Angina is when the oxygen to the heart is decreased causing a person to experience chest pains. Losing weight will make the heart work better and reduce the risk because the blood pressure and cholesterol levels will decrease along with the fats in the blood stream.

DIABETES:

The most common type of diabetes in the U.S. is Type 2 or non-insulin diabetes. The body has difficulty controlling blood sugar levels with this type of diabetes. There are other things that come with diabetes that are a danger as well. Kidney disease, stroke, blindness and loss of limbs can result from being diabetic. The risk of diabetes is double in those that are overweight. Losing weight can help to keep blood sugar levels under control.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HYPERTENSION:

Twenty five percent of adults suffer from hypertension. Maintaining a healthy weight, watching fat and calorie intake, and decreasing alcohol intake can help to control hypertension.

CANCER:

Uterine cancers, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, cancer in the gallbladder, breast and colon cancer are at an increased risk with being overweight. Men that are overweight are more prone to the development of prostate, colon and rectal cancer.

SLEEP APNEA:

A dangerous condition associated with being overweight is sleep apnea. This condition causes a person to stop breathing briefly while they are sleeping. They will also snore a great deal. The more weight you carry, the higher the the risk of sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea can not only cause tiredness or sleepiness during the day but it can cause the heart to fail as well.

OSTEOARTHRITIS:

Extra weight is put on the joints when you are overweight. The cartilage is worn away when the pressure is increased on these joints.

GOUT:

Those that are overweight are at a higher risk of gout which is the buildup of uric acid in the blood.

GALLBLADDER DISEASE:

Gallstones and gallbladder disease are more prominent in those that are obese.

These are just a few of the things that those who are overweight are at risk for. The chances of developing these risks will decrease if you begin to lose the weight. The easiest way to lose weight is by eating properly, increasing your physical activity, and taking a diet pill that is proven to work.

Should parents of overweight kids be held liable for their health issues and even their death?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Barring any obvious "REAL" disease that causes the child to be obese.

Parents of FAT kids are liable for their health. They need to be conscious of what their child eats and does with his/her free time. If the parent is obese, which is usually is the case, they need to recall the way it is for them to be FAT in America and think if they want to put that on their kids.

My 8 year old daughter is severely overweight because the school refuses to serve health lunches. Can I sue th?

Can I sue the school for their negligence?

A single meal in the middle of the day isn’t the reason your daughter is overweight. At school she has stimulation and exercise, likely more than enough opportunity to burn off a high calorie meal.

The problem isn’t at school, its elsewhere.
