from drudge: Half of Britons will be obese by 2050, landmark study warns

Reading this article made me wonder if the same kind of zealotry that's been attacking smoking as evil and bad for society in the last decade especially, will start attacking all the things in our westernized diet that lead to obesity. Hell, their should be commercials in front of fast food places with 100's of body bags because because obesity kills!

I like it. I exercise a lot and keep my diet clean, so in 2050 when I'm... 71.. I'll be so fit and hot that I'll get all the girls and everyone will be like omg I'm so fat I wish I was that guy.

right??

if you've read any books on the fast food industry this has already been proven.

How much weight have you gained in that time?
It gets tougher as you get older.

When you make a claim that is borderline-outrageous, and at the very least not "common knowledge", its your job to provide evidence. Evidence does not involve requesting that 2p2 purchase books off of amazon.com

ps i don't believe your claim. i've never heard of anyone who actually wanted to clean up their diet/stop eating fast food and felt unable to due to physical addictions.
