Obesity/overweight Rates Have Doubled In South Carolina Since 1990 -
June Proclaimed Obesity Awareness Month

Article Date: 14 Jun 2009 - 0:00 PDT

South Carolinians are encouraged to join in obesity prevention efforts
where they live, work, and play, and to make healthier decisions in
their day-to-day lives during Obesity Awareness Month, the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.

"In South Carolina, where Gov. Mark Sanford has officially proclaimed
June as Obesity Awareness Month, obesity rates have more than doubled
since 1990," said Erika Kirby, director of DHEC's Division of Obesity
Prevention and Control. "Sixty-five percent of South Carolina adults
are obese or overweight, and more than 31 percent of high school
students in the state are overweight or obese."

Kirby said in some South Carolina communities, rates of overweight and
obesity are now more than 40 percent among children and adolescents.

http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2009/jan/12/s_c_literacy_improves6...

South Carolina now falls slightly behind the national average of 14.5
percent of adults lacking basic literacy skills.

Well, darn it there's only one sensible answer then.  Let the fed govt
figure out a solution.  They fix everything.

Well darn if local government can't do it....

LOL!!!  Yep, it's the govts role to keep people
skinny...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide clean and water to
people...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide law enforcement...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide food safety laws ...bwahahahahahah!!!!

Rich, seriously, you really think it's the govts role to solve
people's obesity problem?

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to solve health issues?

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to solve product safety?

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to solve clean air and water?

 Obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10% of all U.S. medical
 spending or an estimated $147 billion a year, researchers said Monday.

 "About 65 percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight to some degree, and

 a year -- is due to obesity," Obourn said. "And the indirect cost to
 business is significantly higher."

I asked you first.

And I answered you.

No, you didn't.  You dodged, as you always do.

The point went over your head as it always does. You deny one service, you have to
deny
them *all*.

No they don't.  They can offer services that actually fall under the
legitimate role of govt.  I'm not surprised that you would think
obesity control is a legitimate role of govt.

Same as the Department of Health and Human Services' function.. Duh

You cafeteria rightards are the most hypocritical cherry pickers around.

Ha, when I fill in the blank with "stop obesity" I have answered my
own question.  The answer is a big, fat (no pun intended, ok well
maybe a little) no.

So saving billions for business and actually promoting health for people is bad????

Cherry picker.

Saving billions?  Back that BS up.

Duh, it's right up above?????

Yes, that is what it's costing.  What you blindly believe is that the

won't.  No govt program is going to stop Bertha the burger eater from
ordering a 15,000 calorie meal from McDonalds.  But, hey, I'm sure the

The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this. You do
realize that, don't you? If you can only buy a lean burger then Bertha will
lose weight.

And the insurance plans of those companies can severely penalize
"fatty" habits. A one-two punch approach. But then there's you, content to
do absolutely nothing and let business lose billions and let people become
obese.

This explains your problem - you just blindly post.

As opposed to you posting one thing and claiming another.

Raise rates? Drop coverage? Duh?

Okay that's what I figured you would say. Thanks for displaying to
the entire forum your duplicity on govt run healthcare.

This explains your problem - you just blindly post.

As opposed to you posting one thing and claiming another.

Which I haven't done. So, you blindly posted yet again.

Which you have.

Saving billions? Back that BS up

Adults

Obesity/overweight Rates Have Doubled In South Carolina Since 1990 -
June Proclaimed Obesity Awareness Month

Article Date: 14 Jun 2009 - 0:00 PDT

South Carolinians are encouraged to join in obesity prevention efforts
where they live, work, and play, and to make healthier decisions in
their day-to-day lives during Obesity Awareness Month, the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.

"In South Carolina, where Gov.. Mark Sanford has officially proclaimed
June as Obesity Awareness Month, obesity rates have more than doubled
since 1990," said Erika Kirby, director of DHEC's Division of Obesity
Prevention and Control. "Sixty-five percent of South Carolina adults
are obese or overweight, and more than 31 percent of high school
students in the state are overweight or obese."

Kirby said in some South Carolina communities, rates of overweight and
obesity are now more than 40 percent among children and adolescents.

http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2009/jan/12/s_c_literacy_improves6...

South Carolina now falls slightly behind the national average of 14.5
percent of adults lacking basic literacy skills.

Well, darn it there's only one sensible answer then.  Let the fed govt
figure out a solution.  They fix everything.

Well darn if local government can't do it...

LOL!!!  Yep, it's the govts role to keep people
skinny...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide clean and water to
people...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide law enforcement...bwahahahahahah!!!!

LOL!!! Yep it's the govts role to provide food safety laws ...bwahahahahahah!!!!

Rich, seriously, you really think it's the govts role to solve
people's obesity problem?

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to solve health issues?

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to solve product safety?

I asked you first.

And I answered you.

No, you didn't.  You dodged, as you always do..

The point went over your head as it always does. You deny one service, you have to
deny
them *all*.

No they don't.  They can offer services that actually fall under the
legitimate role of govt.  I'm not surprised that you would think
obesity control is a legitimate role of govt.

Same as the Department of Health and Human Services' function. Duh

You cafeteria rightards are the most hypocritical cherry pickers around.

see you're answering your own question.

Ha, when I fill in the blank with "stop obesity" I have answered my
own question.  The answer is a big, fat (no pun intended, ok well
maybe a little) no.

So saving billions for business and actually promoting health for people is bad????

Cherry picker.

Saving billions?  Back that BS up.

Duh, it's right up above?????

Where?  It's not in the links you posted.  If it is, post the language

That's what it's costing us, that's what could saved. Even you should be able to

Yes, that is what it's costing.  What you blindly believe is that the
govt spending billions on such nonsense would even work...which it
won't.  No govt program is going to stop Bertha the burger eater from
ordering a 15,000 calorie meal from McDonalds.  But, hey, I'm sure the
govt means well.

The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this. You do
realize that, don't you? If you can only buy a lean burger then Bertha will
lose weight.

Bull.  Bertha will continue to find foods that widen the load.  They
only way the govt can effectively deal with this is outlaw all fatty
foods or regulate the fat/calorie content of every food product on the
market.

That's what I said:

 The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this

And Bertha will have to work harder to find that.

Good, now that we've cleared up that you want the govt to manage your
diet we can move on to whatever it is next that you want the govt to
manage for you at the expense of you being personally responsible.

Government already manages your diet - by having safety standards. Say
thank you to the government for each safe meal you have.

And the insurance plans of those companies can severely penalize
"fatty" habits. A one-two punch approach. But then there's you, content to
do absolutely nothing and let business lose billions and let people become
obese.

Penalize?  How so?

Raise rates? Drop coverage? Duh?

Okay that's what I figured you would say.  Thanks for displaying to
the entire forum your duplicity on govt run healthcare.

That's all you can come up with? You're saying insurance companies never drop
coverage or raise rates? Or deny treatment or coverage?????> > > > > > > > This explains your problem - you just blindly post.

As opposed to you posting one thing and claiming another.

Which I haven't done.  So, you blindly posted yet again.

Which you have.

Well, darn it there's only one sensible answer then. Let the fed govt
figure out a solution. They fix everything.

Well darn if local government can't do it...

LOL!!! Yep, it's the govts role to keep people
skinny...bwahahahahahah!!!!

Rich, seriously, you really think it's the govts role to solve

I asked you first.

And I answered you.

No, you didn't. You dodged, as you always do.

The point went over your head as it always does. You deny one service, you have to
deny

No they don't. They can offer services that actually fall under the

obesity control is a legitimate role of govt.

Same as the Department of Health and Human Services' function. Duh

You cafeteria rightards are the most hypocritical cherry pickers around.

Ha, when I fill in the blank with "stop obesity" I have answered my
own question. The answer is a big, fat (no pun intended, ok well
maybe a little) no.

So saving billions for business and actually promoting health for people is bad????

Cherry picker.

Saving billions? Back that BS up.

Duh, it's right up above?????

Where? It's not in the links you posted. If it is, post the language
that says billions are being saved. Post it right here ===

That's what it's costing us, that's what could saved. Even you should be able to
follow along...

Yes, that is what it's costing. What you blindly believe is that the
govt spending billions on such nonsense would even work...which it
won't. No govt program is going to stop Bertha the burger eater from
ordering a 15,000 calorie meal from McDonalds. But, hey, I'm sure the
govt means well.

The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this. You do
realize that, don't you? If you can only buy a lean burger then Bertha will
lose weight.

Bull. Bertha will continue to find foods that widen the load. They
only way the govt can effectively deal with this is outlaw all fatty
foods or regulate the fat/calorie content of every food product on the
market.

That's what I said:

The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this

And Bertha will have to work harder to find that.

Good, now that we've cleared up that you want the govt to manage your
diet we can move on to whatever it is next that you want the govt to
manage for you at the expense of you being personally responsible.

Government already manages your diet - by having safety standards. Say
thank you to the government for each safe meal you have.

No they don't. They manage safety standards. They don't manage
diet...thank God.

Standards for fat content etc IS managing diet.


No it is not. It's managing fat content. That's all.

And the insurance plans of those companies can severely penalize
"fatty" habits. A one-two punch approach. But then there's you, content to
do absolutely nothing and let business lose billions and let people become
obese.

Penalize? How so?

Raise rates? Drop coverage? Duh?

Okay that's what I figured you would say. Thanks for displaying to
the entire forum your duplicity on govt run healthcare.

That's all you can come up with? You're saying insurance companies never drop
coverage or raise rates? Or deny treatment or coverage?????> > > > > > > > This
explains your problem - you just blindly post.

That's all I need to display your duplicity front and center for the
forum.

It's all you need to make a fool of yourself.> > > > > > > > > As opposed to you posting one thing and claiming another.

Which I haven't done, but thanks for making my point for me almost
better than I could ever do myself.

Which I haven't done. So, you blindly posted yet again.

Which you have.

Obesity/overweight Rates Have Doubled In South Carolina Since 1990 -
June Proclaimed Obesity Awareness Month

Article Date: 14 Jun 2009 - 0:00 PDT

South Carolinians are encouraged to join in obesity prevention efforts
where they live, work, and play, and to make healthier decisions in
their day-to-day lives during Obesity Awareness Month, the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.

"In South Carolina, where Gov. Mark Sanford has officially proclaimed
June as Obesity Awareness Month, obesity rates have more than doubled
since 1990," said Erika Kirby, director of DHEC's Division of Obesity
Prevention and Control. "Sixty-five percent of South Carolina adults
are obese or overweight, and more than 31 percent of high school
students in the state are overweight or obese."

Kirby said in some South Carolina communities, rates of overweight and
obesity are now more than 40 percent among children and adolescents.

I asked you first.

And I answered you.

No, you didn't.  You dodged, as you always do.

The point went over your head as it always does. You deny one service, you have to
deny
them *all*.

No they don't.  They can offer services that actually fall under the
legitimate role of govt.  I'm not surprised that you would think
obesity control is a legitimate role of govt.

Same as the Department of Health and Human Services' function. Duh

You cafeteria rightards are the most hypocritical cherry pickers around.

geo, seriously, you think it's the govts role to ________   fill it in...and you'll
see you're answering your own question.

Ha, when I fill in the blank with "stop obesity" I have answered my
own question.  The answer is a big, fat (no pun intended, ok well
maybe a little) no.

So saving billions for business and actually promoting health for people is bad????

Cherry picker.

Saving billions?  Back that BS up.

Duh, it's right up above?????

Where?  It's not in the links you posted.  If it is, post the language
that says billions are being saved.  Post it right here ===

 Obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10% of all U.S. medical
 spending or an estimated $147 billion a year, researchers said Monday.

That's what it's costing us, that's what could saved. Even you should be able to
follow along...

Yes, that is what it's costing.  What you blindly believe is that the
govt spending billions on such nonsense would even work...which it
won't.  No govt program is going to stop Bertha the burger eater from
ordering a 15,000 calorie meal from McDonalds.  But, hey, I'm sure the
govt means well.

The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this. You do
realize that, don't you? If you can only buy a lean burger then Bertha will
lose weight.

Bull.  Bertha will continue to find foods that widen the load.  They
only way the govt can effectively deal with this is outlaw all fatty
foods or regulate the fat/calorie content of every food product on the
market.

That's what I said:

 The government can establish dietary and health regs covering this

And Bertha will have to work harder to find that.

Good, now that we've cleared up that you want the govt to manage your
diet we can move on to whatever it is next that you want the govt to
manage for you at the expense of you being personally responsible.

Government already manages your diet - by having safety standards. Say
thank you to the government for each safe meal you have.

No they don't.  They manage safety standards.  They don't manage
diet...thank God.

Standards for fat content etc IS managing diet.

No it is not.  It's managing fat content.  That's all.

Which is part of the diet. DUH DUH DUH Are you really this desperate?

Rich, managing diet is individually managing what you take in.  That
is a personal choice.  The govt is only dictating what goes in to a
product.  That's all.  They are not managing your diet.  The rest is
up to you.  I'm not surprised that you can't make this distinction.

Geo, managing fat content affects everyone buying that product. That is managin
the diet of many individuals. That's all. I'm surprised you don't understand this.

And the insurance plans of those companies can severely penalize
"fatty" habits. A one-two punch approach. But then there's you, content to
do absolutely nothing and let business lose billions and let people become
obese.

Penalize?  How so?

Raise rates? Drop coverage? Duh?

Okay that's what I figured you would say.  Thanks for displaying to
the entire forum your duplicity on govt run healthcare.

That's all you can come up with? You're saying insurance companies never drop
coverage or raise rates? Or deny treatment or coverage?????> > > > > > > > This
 explains your problem - you just blindly post.

That's all I need to display your duplicity front and center for the
forum.

It's all you need to make a fool of yourself.> > > > > > > > > As opposed to you posting one thing and claiming another.

Which I haven't done, but thanks for making my point for me almost
better than I could ever do myself.

 It's managing fat content

LOL> > > > > > > Which I haven't done.  So, you blindly posted yet again.

Which you have.

 Saving billions?  Back that BS up

Sid, I know you want the govt to control every aspect of your life, but
your diet is controlled by you. You and no one else. They don't tell
you how much you can eat, how much fat you can ingest or how many
calories you take in and/or burn off. That's up to you. Althoug, I'm
sure you wouldn't mind the govt regulating that too.

So does this mean that you have no objection to making manufacturers put
nutrition labels on all processed foods that is accurate, easy to
understand, and allows people to make informed decisions?

Would this include restaurant menus?

Nothing would make a difference to fat pigs like Jamieson... His
informed decision" is to pig out on Ho Ho's and Twinkies...

Any fool knows what foods are unhealthy and what isn't. you moron.
The
reason you're a fat pig is because you eat too much....
