Another theory on obesity

There are many theories on the causes of obesity. Some say too much fat, too many calories. Ironically, many of the modern diets have generally failed to fix the problem.

The above video is long. For people who will reply with tl;dr here is the synopsis:



Watch it if you get a chance. I really enjoyed it and found it both eye opening and informative, without needing some shock factor or sex to sell it. It follows a simple premise and makes a lot of sense.

Other than OP, has anyone actually even watched the video?

I can't believe schools would remove this game from their programs. It's an injustice!

I hate that dodgeball gets a bad rap. I hate the 'trophy for everyone' mentality. I hate every liberal agenda that separates our kids from the real world. Blowup
I'm glad they got rid of it, I hated dodgeball. They should have removed it a decade or two sooner! Mad

You mean like removing monkey bars from playgrounds, because they're dangerous? Like removing concrete from playground and putting the rubber crap, because it's safer and leads kids to be pansies and get injured more not less?

I never said they did, but you have to admit it's a little funny that you guys all spent 90-some posts arguing about the content of a video none of you will even watch. LMAO

It's a good video guys. Very informative, very data centric and very logical explanations.

Watch it if you can afford the time.

If this video is 90minutes, I'm not going to watch it. I don't have the time for it, and I find other things to be more important than understanding one persons opinion on the root cause of obesity.

I not really that hard to please Dontknow

I would also like to point out that you could get fat without sugar. That body will store fat on it's own without a consistant meal schedule...but I'll leave that one alone.

I actually started the video but ended it once I saw that it was 90 minutes. There was no way I could commit the time required.

Dodgeball is the ultimate 'survival of the fittest' exercise. Kids should want to play this game and want to improve each time they do play it. This game is "real life"

Exactly!

We didn't wear helmets when riding our bikes. We didn't even wear them when competing in a furthest jump contest. When we scraped our knees and elbows our moms would make us wash it and put a band-aid on the wound before going outside to finish what we started. We did a lot of things that these pansy-assed kids today don't get to do.

I'll spend 90-some posts arguing about pretty much anything.
