The American way of life created by the boomer generation has become a major cause of illness, lost joy, and death, according to nutrition and health writer Greg Critser in his important and timely book
Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World
? 60 percent of Americans are overweight (fat enough to experience directly related health problems).
? About 20 percent of us are obese (so fat that our lives will be cut short).
? More than 5 million Americans are morbidly obese ? so obese that they qualify for gastroplasty, a radical surgical technique that keeps the stomach from digesting food. The American Bariatric Society performs these procedures and reports that there are months-long waiting lists and that its surgeons can't keep up.
? 25 percent of all Americans under age nineteen are overweight or obese.
? Obesity disproportionately plagues the poor. Among Mexican American women from twenty to seventy-four years of age, the obesity rate is about 13 percent higher for those living below the poverty line.
? Diabetes occurs at a rate of 16 to 26 percent in both Hispanic and black Americans aged forty-five to seventy-four, compared to 12 percent of non-Hispanic whites the same age.
Yeah I really wish I was a fat fuck, honest.
