Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease of civilization. ~ Andrew Weil
Obesity quotes by Andrew Weil
I'm a food addict. I've tried everything- Weight Watchers, The South Beach, raw food, Atkins, low-fat diets. Nothing works for me." I looked at him and said, "Have you tried suffering?" He laughed out loud, as if I was joking. I wasn't joking. ~ Frederick Woolverton
Obesity quotes by Frederick Woolverton
Do you remember campaigns like 'Keep America beautiful'? What about 'Buckle up'? I believe we need an approach like this to attack obesity. Let's be a good industry that does 100% of what it possibly can - not grudgingly, but willingly. ~ Indra Nooyi
Obesity quotes by Indra Nooyi
Obesity among young Americans is a serious problem that can have serious ramifications in the long run. ~ Virginia Foxx
Obesity quotes by Virginia Foxx
Getting kids moving is a key factor in tackling obesity and health problems among the young. ~ Magnus Scheving
Obesity quotes by Magnus Scheving
Obesity is a societal issue. We have to come together with government, business, civil society, and NGOs to create solutions for this. ~ Muhtar Kent
Obesity quotes by Muhtar Kent
The answer to how to engage with obesity, Cahnman said, was 'an agreement of mutual respect for the common humanity of each and every one of us'. Weight stigma, he pointed out, cannot be removed except by treating individuals with obesity as normal human beings – as intelligent and capable as anyone else – and removing any sense of moral shame about their condition. ~ Bee Wilson
Obesity quotes by Bee Wilson
Despite the odium and widespread condemnation of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, he passed with all the fanfare of a fart in a mesh sack. Medical examiners said it was a thrombotic stroke, likely exacerbated by obesity and high blood pressure. Some said cocaine and opioids had been found in his system, but these reports were never confirmed. Trump was dead, and now it was time to start glossing over his dismal legacy and perpetuating his vision, posthumously, for Making America Great Again... ~ Philip A. Becnel IV
Obesity quotes by Philip A. Becnel IV
The Redskins have been active champions in the fight against childhood obesity through our commitment with the NFL Play 60 program. ~ Daniel Snyder
Obesity quotes by Daniel Snyder
A great paradox...red states are poorere and have more teen mothers, more divorce, worse health, more obesity, more trauma-related deaths, more low-birth-weight babies, and lower school enrollment....The gap in life expectancey between Louisiana (75.7) and Connecticut (80.8) is the same as that between the U.S. and Nicaragua....And the problem transcends race; an average black in Maryland lives four years longer, earns twice as much, and is twice as likely to have a college degree as a black in Louisiana. And whites in Louisiana are wrose off than whites in Maryland or anywhere else outside Mississippi. Louisiana has suffered many environmental problems too: there are nearly 400 miles of low, flat, subsiding coastline, adn the state loses a football field-size patch of wetland every hour. It is threatened by rising sea levels and severe hurricanes, which the world's top scientists connect to climate change. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Obesity quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
American children are the heaviest worldwide, and they are getting heavier at a faster rate than other children around the globe. This spread of obesity foreshadows an explosion in degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer waiting to erupt in our children's future. Together we can stop this tragedy from ever happening. ~ Joel Fuhrman
Obesity quotes by Joel Fuhrman
In the eleventh century obese English king William the Conqueror took to bed and consumed nothing but alcohol to shed pounds, a practice many of his countrymen seem to continue to this day. ~ David Sax
Obesity quotes by David Sax
Obesity is not a disease. It is a lifestyle affliction. It is a symptom. It is a side-effect of poor habits and it can be reversed. ~ Nancy S. Mure
Obesity quotes by Nancy S. Mure
Hotel Food !!, If i eat i will get Obesity, if i don't eat i will get Acidity ... WHAT THE F ... O ... O ... D ... !! ~ Vinay Kumar
Obesity quotes by Vinay Kumar
As I talked to our team, we are going to believe that Eric is going to walk onto that field again. ~ Greg Schiano
Obesity quotes by Greg Schiano
The infant mortality rates are insanely high. The obesity epidemic is on the rise. It is all related. ~ Kimberly Williams-Paisley
Obesity quotes by Kimberly Williams-Paisley
Let's be honest about the "war on obesity." It's a war on people with a particular body type, funded by diet companies. ~ Golda Poretsky
Obesity quotes by Golda Poretsky
If your friends are obese, your risk of obesity is 45 percent higher ... If your friend's friends are obese, your risk of obesity is 25 percent higher ... If your friend's friend's friend, someone you probably don't even know, is obese, your risk of obesity is 10 percent higher. It's only when you get to your friend's friend's friend's friends that there's no longer a relationship between that person's body size and your own body size. ~ Nicholas A. Christakis
Obesity quotes by Nicholas A. Christakis
One of my colleagues in Duke, Ralph Keeney, noted that America's top killer isn't cancer or heart disease, nor is it smoking or obesity. It's our inability to make smart choices and overcome our own self-destructive behaviours. Ralph estimates that about half of us will make a lifestyle decision that will ultimately lead us to an early grave. And as if this were not bad enough, it seems that the rate at which we make these deadly decisions is increasing at an alarming pace.

I suspect that over the next few decades, real improvements in life expectancy and quality are less likely to be driven by medical technology than by improved decision making. Since focusing on long-term benefits is not our natural tendency, we need to more carefully examine the cases in which we repeatedly fail, and try to come up with some remedies for these situations. For an overweight movie loved, the key might be to enjoy watching a film while walking on the treadmill. The trick is to find the right behavioural antidote for each problem. By pairing something that we love with something that we dislike but that is good for us, we might be able to harness desire with outcome - and thus overcome some of the problems with self-control we face every day. ~ Dan Ariely
Obesity quotes by Dan Ariely
But how we should care for other people remains a question. In his discussion of efforts to control childhood obesity, the philosopher Michael Merry defines paternalism as "interference with the liberty of another for the purposes of promoting some good or preventing some harm." This type of paternalism, he notes, is reflected in traffic laws, gun control, and environmental regulations. These are limits to liberty, even if they are benevolent. Interfering with the parenting of obese children, he argues, is not necessarily benevolent. There is risk in assigning risk. ~ Eula Biss
Obesity quotes by Eula Biss
Where you find obesity, you'll find poverty. It's a reflection of the South's struggle to raise its standard of living. ~ William R. Ferris
Obesity quotes by William R. Ferris
Childhood obesity isn't about looks. And it's not about weight. It's about how our kids feel. And those are really the implications of the problem and the words that tell a fuller picture of the challenges that we face; you know, kids struggling in ways that they didn't a generation ago. ~ Michelle Obama
Obesity quotes by Michelle Obama
We can move faster than humans, but with the obesity rates nowadays, turtles can move faster than most humans. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Obesity quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This big fat woman bumped me on the floor, she was rarin' to go, she was rarin' to go. Then she did a dip, I almost broke my hip. ~ Joe Tex
Obesity quotes by Joe Tex
How fares the thumb, boy? well? Aye, merry, 'tis the sign of the penis. With the women, look you, observe the ear. The parts appear and come together. So obesity and malice. So grumbling and nagging. So gossip, envy, spite, and avarice. Slowly settling into. So feminine weakness. Heartless piety. Savage morals. They come together. No more goody geedge. Ruthless, lifelong revenge. Zrrr. Grease in a cold pan. Stay off from gingerly lobed and delicately whorled ones. Thus appear the parts. Mind your uncle, boy, who knows. And the men then. Lewd speech and slovenly habits. And the peasant's suspicion, his cruelty and rancor, his anger, drunkenness, pig-headed ignorance and bestiality. Inevitable they should be parts. Hoolyhoohoo. All in the normal course of nature. And they were saying we had evolved. What did it mean? But, he said in a voice that was clearly audible, I protest this world of unilluminated cocks. He caught the sense of his own words - so absurd - and his body began to shake - half in laughter, half in despair. ~ William H. Gass
Obesity quotes by William H. Gass
One of the best ways to understand how filters shape our individual experience is to think in terms of our information diet. As sociologist danah boyd said in a speech at the 2009 Web 2.0 Expo: Our bodies are programmed to consume fat and sugars because they're rare in nature ... In the same way, we're biologically programmed to be attentive to things that stimulate: content that is gross, violent, or sexual and that gossip which is humiliating, embarrassing, or offensive. If we're not careful, we're going to develop the psychological equivalent of obesity. We'll find ourselves consuming content that is least beneficial for ourselves or society as a whole. ~ Eli Pariser
Obesity quotes by Eli Pariser
I am excited to share my archive pictures and footage. I'll also share announcements about current events and success stories from the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation to help fight diabetes and child obesity. ~ Sugar Ray Leonard
Obesity quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears. ~ Washington Irving
Obesity quotes by Washington Irving
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and live your whole life in every way as well as you can: exercise regularly as part of your daily routine, avoid obesity, don't drink too much, don't smoke, and don't get distracted from the real, basic, simple causes of ill health. ~ Ben Goldacre
Obesity quotes by Ben Goldacre
All those who have insisted (and still do) that overeating and/or sedentary behavior must be the cause of obesity have done so on the basis of this same fundamental error: they will observe correctly that positive caloric balance must be associated with weight gain, but then they will assume without justification that positive caloric balance is the cause of weight gain. This simple misconception has led to a century of misguided obesity research. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
America wrestles with its obesity crisis to such an extent that Americans forget there are worse weight problems on earth than obesity. ~ Melissa Fay Greene
Obesity quotes by Melissa Fay Greene
Associated with this weight gain are increased risks
in adulthood for joint problems, angina, high blood pressure, heart
attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes and, ultimately, premature death.
Outside of the human costs, health experts estimate that treating
adult obesity-related ailments will cost the American economy
nearly $150 billion in 2009. ~ Jeff Schweitzer
Obesity quotes by Jeff Schweitzer
The obvious implication is that obesity and Type 2 diabetes are two sides of the same physiological coin, two consequences, occasionally concurrent, of the same underlying defects - hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
In neighborhoods without a usable park or playground, the incidence of childhood obesity increases by 29 percent. ~ Darell Hammond
Obesity quotes by Darell Hammond
A fat man is never so happy as when he is describing himself as robust. ~ George Orwell
Obesity quotes by George Orwell
Things like depression and obesity are global challenges. ~ Jane McGonigal
Obesity quotes by Jane McGonigal
I could have gone for gambling or sex addiction, ... But I went for obesity because of the tremendous impact it has. ~ Nora Volkow
Obesity quotes by Nora Volkow
His weight makes him a social pariah. It reduces the likelihood he'll remarry. It has grave implications for his health. But it isn't evil. Just like all that exercise of yours has nothing to do with being good. I know you think it does. It makes you feel good, and feel good about yourself, and feel superior to people who slob around all day. But it's mostly a waste of time that doesn't do anything for anybody else but you. ~ Lionel Shriver
Obesity quotes by Lionel Shriver
One thing that makes me very happy is to see the growing activism among chefs in America. Chefs like Tom Colicchio, Bill Telepan, and Rachel Ray and food writers like Michael Pollan have gone to Congress, indeed sometimes even have testified before Congress, have lent this support to Mrs. Obama's effort to combat childhood obesity. ~ Jose Andres
Obesity quotes by Jose Andres
We as parents are our children's first and best role models, and this is particularly true when it comes to their health ... We can't lie around on the couch eating French fries and candy bars and expect our kids to eat carrots and run around the block. ~ Michelle Obama
Obesity quotes by Michelle Obama
in many societies more people are in danger of dying from obesity than from starvation. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Obesity quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
I think Michelle Obama is on the right track with her Let's Move campaign to bring down childhood obesity. She and I come from the same state, Illinois, which is number four in the nation for obese children. One out of five Illinois children are considered obese. Not overweight, obese. And two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. ~ Aaron Schock
Obesity quotes by Aaron Schock
To amplify our efforts, USDA is joining with First Lady Michelle Obama in aggressively promoting the 'Let's Move' campaign, which will combat the epidemic of childhood obesity through a comprehensive approach that builds on effective strategies, and mobilizes public and private sector resources. ~ Tom Vilsack
Obesity quotes by Tom Vilsack
All you need are a pair of tennis shoes and motivation to change the course of your life. ~ Heidi Bond
Obesity quotes by Heidi Bond
We are commanded to associate with, pray and worship with fellow believers, plus it's medically indicated. Neuroscientist John Cacioppo concluded that people who don't associate regularly with other people are more prone to illness, obesity and feelings of helplessness. (Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection). ~ John Price
Obesity quotes by John Price
One's prescription can seem extensive--even overwhelming, depending on an individual's circumstance--and I can imagine the prospects exciting few people of any stripe. Lots of eaters are going to balk at abstaining, but to learn that recovery is going to require rigorous honesty, or more attention to spirit, could be far more off-putting.
Then again, who gets excited about any serious treatment prescription? Certainly not the cancer patient told she'll have to undergo radiation, or the back patient ordered to a month's uninterrupted bed rest, or the lung patient told he'll need a double transplant.
To some, the flaw of those comparisons will be their being equated with food addiction, and that is the rub, entirely. The medical profession and the public at large don't see that they are equivalent. The consequences of obesity (the chief consequence of food addiction) constitute the fastest-growing, and soon the gravest, threat to public health. Obesity is suicide on lay-away: It has plenty of time to degrade quality of life before finally ending life prematurely. ~ Michael Prager
Obesity quotes by Michael Prager
Just as animal research tells us that gluttony and sloth are side effects of a drive to accumulate body fat, it also says that eating in moderation and being physically active (literally, having the energy to exercise) are not evidence of moral rectitude. Rather, they're the metabolic benefits of a body that's programmed to remain lean. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
A group called the Food Research and Action Center wants the government to spend more on food programs. Sure enough, their study found that astonishing numbers of children were 'hungry': 'One in four American children under age 12 is hungry or at risk of hunger in America.'
The report got lots of press. Some reporters spun the report so it sounded worse than it was. Dan Rather somehow changed kids who were 'sometimes hungry' into 'children in danger of starving.'
Starving? The Food Research and Action Center never counted calories. They didn't even ask people what they ate. Instead, they asked: 'Do you ever cut the size of meals?' 'Do you ever eat less than you feel you should?' Naturally, some people said yes to those questions. It didn't mean America is 'hungry', let alone 'starving.' In fact, in America, one of the poor's biggest problems is obesity. ~ John Stossel
Obesity quotes by John Stossel
There are five issues that make a fist of a hand that can knock America out cold. They're lack of jobs, obesity, diabetes, homelessness, and lack of good education. ~ Will.i.am
Obesity quotes by Will.i.am
The simplest way to look at all these associations, between obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and Alzheimer's (not to mention the other the conditions that also associate with obesity and diabetes, such as gout, asthma, and fatty liver disease), is that what makes us fat - the quality and quantity of carbohydrates we consume - also makes us sick. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
Across the country, red states are poorer and have more teen mothers, more divorce, worse health, more obesity, more trauma-related deaths, more low-birth-weight babies, and lower school enrollment. On average, people in red states die five years earlier than people in blue states. Indeed, the gap in life expectancy between Louisiana (75.7) and Connecticut (80.8) is the same as that between the United States and Nicaragua. Red states suffer more in another highly important but little-known way, one that speaks to the very biological self-interest in health and life: industrial pollution. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Obesity quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
Most people agree, whether or not they think that carbohydrates are inherently fattening, that by focusing on fat, the nutritional establishment gave people license to over-consume carbohydrates and that this contributed to the obesity epidemic. The new threat is that by focusing now on fructose, the AHA and USDA and other organizations are giving implicit license to over-consume starch - almost guaranteed since these agencies are still down on fat and protein. ~ Richard David Feinman
Obesity quotes by Richard David Feinman
Facebook is big. Bigger than Justin Bieber or Ashton Kutcher's Twitter following. Hell, it's even bigger than obesity and possibly just as lethal! ~ Gemini Adams
Obesity quotes by Gemini Adams
The "active couch potato syndrome" is an actual observed scientific phenomenon whereby devoted fitness enthusiasts - who conduct daily workouts but live otherwise inactivity-dominant lifestyles - are not immune to the cellular dysfunction and metabolic disease patterns driven by inactivity. Statistics referenced by James Levine, MD, PhD, a Mayo Clinic researcher, international expert on obesity, and author of Get Up! Why Your Chair is Killing You and What You Can Do About It, ~ Mark Sisson
Obesity quotes by Mark Sisson
It is strange, and perhaps sad, that medical doctors came up with this terminology when they are charged with first doing no harm. ~ Roxane Gay
Obesity quotes by Roxane Gay
Obesity is awesome from a Wall Street perspective. It's not just one disease - there are all sorts of related diseases to profit from. ~ Anne Wojcicki
Obesity quotes by Anne Wojcicki
Obesity is now a problem in the navy. They've created a new rank: Really Big Rear Admiral. ~ David Letterman
Obesity quotes by David Letterman
Pain is like a storm. Falling in love is like a storm. Obesity is like a storm. One day it is there and the next day it is still there. ~ Abigail George
Obesity quotes by Abigail George
Obesity is the result of a loss of self-control. Indeed, loss of self-control might be said to be the defining social (or anti-social) characteristic of our age: public drunkenness, excessive gambling, promiscuity and common-or-garden rudeness are all examples of our collective loss of self-control. ~ Theodore Dalrymple
Obesity quotes by Theodore Dalrymple
But humans have a built-in weakness for fats and sugar. We evolved in lean environments where it was a big plus for survival to gorge on calorie-dense foods whenever we found them. Whether or not they understand the biology, food marketers know the weakness and have exploited it without mercy. Obesity is generally viewed as a failure of personal resolve, with no acknowledgement of the genuine conspiracy in this historical scheme. People actually did sit in strategy meetings discussing ways to get all those surplus calories into people who neither needed nor wished to consume them. Children have been targeted especially; food companies spend over $10 billion a year selling food brands to kids, and it isn't broccoli they're pushing. Overweight children are a demographic in many ways similar to minors addicted to cigarettes, with one notable exception: their parents are usually their suppliers. We all subsidize the cheap calories with our tax dollars, the strategists make fortunes, and the overweight consumers get blamed for the violation. The perfect crime. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Obesity quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
We're fit, we're healthy, we eat right, we work out. 'Plus size model' does not mean that we're not healthy. Plus size is not glamourising obesity: it's about empowering. The message behind the fashion is feeling confident in whatever you're wearing. ~ Hayley Hasselhoff
Obesity quotes by Hayley Hasselhoff
There is no such thing as protein deficiency in the United States. How many people do you know who were hospitalized last year for protein deficiency? Zero! Now, how many people do you know who were hospitalized for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or obesity related ailments? Probably lots ~ Rip Esselstyn
Obesity quotes by Rip Esselstyn
The path to obesity is paved with bacon and white bread; the way to skinny is built on apples and Ezekiel. ~ Bob Harper
Obesity quotes by Bob Harper
We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best. ~ Alanis Morissette
Obesity quotes by Alanis Morissette
A survey of more than three hundred international policymakers found that 90 per cent of them still believed that personal motivation – aka willpower – was a very strong cause of obesity.6 This is absurd.
It makes no sense to presume that there has been a sudden collapse in willpower across all ages and ethnic groups and each sex since the 1960s. What has changed most since the sixties is not our collective willpower but the marketing and availability of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods. ~ Bee Wilson
Obesity quotes by Bee Wilson
Eating a salad (in public) is an overweight person's attempt to appear in control. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Obesity quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Obesity is a prison; in the US we spend more to treat type 2 diabetes each year than is spent on education. ~ Paul Zane Pilzer
Obesity quotes by Paul Zane Pilzer
Despite the depth and certainty of our faith that saturated fat is the nutritional bane of our lives and that obesity is caused by overeating and sedentary behavior, there has always been copious evidence to suggest that those assumptions are incorrect, and that evidence is continuing to mount. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
I am on an emotional roller coaster ride to survive and to conquer obesity, not only for myself but also for everyone that battles some kind of addiction. ~ Ruby Gettinger
Obesity quotes by Ruby Gettinger
It is my theory you can't get rid of fat. All you can do is move it around, like furniture. ~ Erma Bombeck
Obesity quotes by Erma Bombeck
The marijuana paradox - although associated with increased
appetite and calorie consumption, regular use of cannabis,
protects against diabetes and obesity. How it manages to do so, however, is still anybody's guess! ~ The Fitness Doc
Obesity quotes by The Fitness Doc
Gluttony, do not eat thy neighbor's wife's popcorn. ~ Jimmy Buffett
Obesity quotes by Jimmy Buffett
Adam and Eve each denied their own responsibility when confronted by God because they saw themselves as too important to be wrong, to be weak, to be vulnerable to the shrewdness of a mere serpent. The dramatic increase in self-importance over the turn of the millennium, occurring alongside a steady increase in divorce, white-collar crime, morbid obesity, and high-profile falls from grace, smacks of a similar stink. We're too important for silly rules. We can't be expected to keep promises we made after circumstances change. Give us enough time, and we'll figure out who's really to blame for the trouble we find ourselves in. Jake ~ David A. Zimmerman
Obesity quotes by David A. Zimmerman
The problem isn't just that some people are overfed and others are underfed, lacking enough basic calories to ward off gnawing hunger (though that still remains a real and brutal problem). The new difficulty is that billions of people across the globe are simultaneously overfed and undernourished: rich in calories but poor in nutrients. Our new global diet is replete with sugar and refined carbohydrates yet lacking in crucial micronutrients such as iron and trace vitamins. Malnutrition is no longer just about hunger and stunting; it is also about obesity. ~ Bee Wilson
Obesity quotes by Bee Wilson
The rise in obesity is the predictable result of the rise in manufactured deliciousness. Everything we add to food just makes us want it more. And no matter how hard we try, we can't make our outsized desires go away. If anything, we're lucky, inexplicably so, that only 8.3 percent of women and 4.4 percent of men have a BMI consistent with total food addiction. But remember the children...The percentage of slender Americans will gradually work its way down to zero. (82) ~ Mark Schatzker
Obesity quotes by Mark Schatzker
Only lifeless mechanisms move along faultlessly straight lines and compass circles. In art the surest way to destroy is to canonize one given form and one philosophy: that which is canonized quickly dies of obesity, of entropy. ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Obesity quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
His fierce determination to escape an invalid's fate led him to transform his body and timid demeanor through strenuous work; Taft, on the other hand, blessed from birth with robust health, would allow his physical strength and energy to gradually dissipate over the years into a state of obesity. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
Obesity quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Of course, figuring out what actually works in reducing childhood obesity is not really the point of these programs. (If it were, then the government might finally stop categorizing french fries as "vegetables.") The real point is the same thing it always is: conformity, control, and eventually fundamental transformation. ~ Glenn Beck
Obesity quotes by Glenn Beck
I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity. ~ Jamie Oliver
Obesity quotes by Jamie Oliver
Ascribing personal responsibility to the obese individual is not a rational argument for an eminently practical reason: it fails to advance any efforts to change it. The obesity pandemic is due to our altered biochemistry, which is a result of our altered environment. ~ Robert H. Lustig
Obesity quotes by Robert H. Lustig
There is a point of obesity where, like it or not, whatever your other personal achievements or qualities, all you are is "the fat man" or "the fat lady", The world is a gawking four-year old. ~ Adrian Barnes
Obesity quotes by Adrian Barnes
I don't believe consumers want to see fuller-figured girls in ads. Because if they did they would refuse to buy the things they are seeing, and want to buy a different product. If people really want to see a change, they have to speak up on a daily basis to see that change. And I think that models who are suffering from an eating disorder, it is as sad to look at them as the person who is suffering from obesity or who is smoking outside their office or person who is drinking too much at the bar - everybody is suffering from something pretty much. ~ Kelly Cutrone
Obesity quotes by Kelly Cutrone
The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children. ~ Tom Vilsack
Obesity quotes by Tom Vilsack
Obesity is racing through America, everywhere. It's high time someone spent some money to do something about it. ~ David H. Murdock
Obesity quotes by David H. Murdock
Overweight and obesity is the second leading cause of death, killing 300,000 people a year, There is not a miracle pill that will lead to weight loss. ~ Richard Carmona
Obesity quotes by Richard Carmona
Bad deeds are like obesity, to get rid of, one has to go through hard Worship ~ Samar Sudha
Obesity quotes by Samar Sudha
All the nations that make up the world are burdened down with riches or poverty, obesity or malnutrition, success or failure. ~ Billy Graham
Obesity quotes by Billy Graham
The way you really find out about the performer's seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don't have a lot of respect for. ~ Robert Redford
Obesity quotes by Robert Redford
I write and speak about personal and spiritual growth. One week I write about illness and another week I speak about relationships and another week I write about work and money and another week I speak to people with obesity issues. I write about whatever wounds seem to cry out for more enlightened solutions, and the love that heals them all. ~ Marianne Williamson
Obesity quotes by Marianne Williamson
Fasting puts undue stress on your heart by cannibalizing your cardiac muscle for fuel. That's right; it eats away at your heart muscles causing damage and a risk of heart failure. Water fasting also creates a risk of heart failure due to the lack of minerals in your diet. Potassium and Magnesium are especially necessary for cardiac function and you cannot get these through water alone. During the 1950s and 60s, fasting was used experimentally as a way to treat obesity. It had fatal consequences with several patients dying from heart failure. Your heart isn't the only thing at risk from fasting. Your immune system becomes compromised, putting you more at risk of infectious diseases that your weakened body may not have the energy to fight. Other less serious side effects include: mood swings, general irritability, low energy, and dizziness caused by low blood pressure. ~ Adam Trainor
Obesity quotes by Adam Trainor
Most of the human body disease such as Obesity, Cancer, Heart disease are linked with our food which we eat in our day to day life. If people are eating health food than how come there be more than 50% death from heart and cancer disease alone in a developed nation such as USA? ~ Subodh Gupta
Obesity quotes by Subodh Gupta
Childhood obesity isn't some simple, discrete issue. There's no one cause we can pinpoint. There's no one program we can fund to make it go away. Rather, it's an issue that touches on every aspect of how we live and how we work. ~ Michelle Obama
Obesity quotes by Michelle Obama
Consuming three planets' worth of resources when in fact we have one is the environmental equivalent of childhood obesity - eating until you make yourself sick ~ David Miliband
Obesity quotes by David Miliband
As a native Washingtonian, I am well aware that childhood obesity is a real problem in our nation's capital. ~ Daniel Snyder
Obesity quotes by Daniel Snyder
The ninety-nine cent price of a fast-food hamburger simply doesn't take account of that meal's true cost
to soil, oil, public health, the public purse, etc., costs which are never charged directly to the consumer but, indirectly and invisibly, to the taxpayer (in the form of subsidies), the health care system (in the form of food-borne illnesses and obesity), and the environment (in the form of pollution), not to mention the welfare of the workers in the feedlot and the slaughterhouse and the welfare of the animals themselves. ~ Michael Pollan
Obesity quotes by Michael Pollan
Obesity is a mental state, a disease brought on by boredom and disappointment. ~ Cyril Connolly
Obesity quotes by Cyril Connolly
It's tempting to suggest that one reason why the obesity-research community has paid little attention to the logical and scientific deficiencies of the overeating/sedentary-behavior hypothesis is that it becomes difficult even to discuss the subject without constantly tripping over the solecisms it engenders. ~ Gary Taubes
Obesity quotes by Gary Taubes
I am not asking anyone to take the fun out of childhood. As we all know, treats are one of the best parts of being a kid. Instead, the goal here is to empower parents instead of undermining them as they try to make healthier choices for their families. ~ Michelle Obama
Obesity quotes by Michelle Obama
If the fat people just gave the skinny people more food, we could all just eat ... We could solve obesity and hunger at the same time. ~ Ashton Kutcher
Obesity quotes by Ashton Kutcher
Making love to a fat woman sure is a treat, because I'm here to tell you that meat hold heat. ~ Chick Willis
Obesity quotes by Chick Willis
