‹ Cause of the obesity epidemic? •
I found this pretty darn interesting.
The MTA (responsible for New York subways) keeps track of the causes for train delays.
Track work and signal troubles are the top two causes.
Guess what is #3 — sick customers.
Asim Nelson, a MTA emergency medical technician, was quoted in AM New York as saying, “While flu-symptoms, anxiety attacks, hangovers, and heat exhaustion also strike passengers, they pale in comparison to fainting caused by missed meals.”
He went on to say, “You have women trying to get their boides tight for the summer and they won’t eat. Not eating for three for four days, you are going to go down. If you don’t eat for 12 hours you are going to get weak.”
This is so disappointing.
First of all, there’s no reason to skip meals in order to management your weight. In fact, doing this probably harms weight loss efforts rather than helps — for a whole bunch of reasons.
Second, it’s crazy our society so demands thinness that people will risk their health and well being by doing what they think is necessary to keep their weight down.
People need to know the straight scoop about weight loss so they can do it correctly while protecting their health.
