Australia Climbs In Obesity Rankings

icyfroth — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:01:09 GMT

The rapidly increasing number of overweight Australians has seen the country overtake Canada in the obesity rankings, with 28.3 percent of adults tipping the scales.

Australia is behind the United States, Mexico and New Zealand in the OECD's annual ‘Health at a Glance’ report.

Despite this, Australia ranks 18th when it comes to children being overweight, below the OECD average.

The OECD shows a negligible gender gap for obesity in Australia, while women in countries like Mexico, Chile, South Africa and Turkey are much more likely to be overweight.

India, Indonesia and China have the lowest rate of obesity in the OECD.

Australia is number one for fruit and vegetable consumption, while Finland, which has substantially fewer obese people, is at the bottom of the rankings.

Australia also has one of the lowest rates of smoking, with only 15 percent of people having a cigarette daily.

Life expectancy at birth in Australia is 82 years old, the seventh best in the OECD and two years higher than average.

I had 2 of these for dinner last night

Yummo

But with all the stuff that old people have to face can't see what's so good about having a high life expectancy. medicine and science should have just worked out how to get us to about 50 as easily as possible and then just stopped and let us go. That would have been the kind thing to do.

Eat right, exercise, die anyway - usually really bloody horribly or after some torturous **bleep** one had to endure just to get a few more years.

DISCLAIMER: I hope that no one else thinks as I do and they all continue to eat a healthy diet and pursue a healthy lifestyle for an eternity, otherwise my new business will go broke and it has only just started earning me a wage!

Keep promoting healthy lifestyles and longevity as a good thing - the industry is booming!

The "low fat" trend is partly to blame for the obesity epidemic.

When you take out good fats you have to replace it with something to give it flavour - so manufacturers add sugar in all it's many different forms.

We eat way too many carbs - carbs convert to sugar. Too many carbs and fat and sugar leads to so many health problems i.e obesity, diabetes, inflamatory diseases.

My diet consists of 80% fat in the form of cream, olive oil, nuts, avocado, full fat Greek yogurt, full fat Cream Cheese. Not only have I lost 13% body fat, my blood sugar level has dropped from 6.5 to 4.7.

If you are interested just google Low Carb/ High Fat diet.

I would rather be fit and healthy than fat and lazy!

Ugh, must be awful living a sluggish life. Give me energy and the endorphins from exercising everyday 🙂

I read a little while ago that Townsville is the fattest city in oz. Wouldn't surprise me, the other night waiting in a car park I watched customers coming and going. It was gross the amount of huge people and it was mainly women. Honestly only saw a handful of "normal" weight range women, the rest wre overweight. It puzzles me in this climate up here how people can live with all that fat.

I'm into the whole healthy lifestyle thing. for the reasons you say, not because I have any ambition to live to be 82 though. Crikey, I even gave up the smokes!

You can't go wrong following the CSIRO diet. The Total Wellbeing and the Diabetes Diet and Lifestyle Plan.

Re: Australia Climbs In Obesity Rankings

*crikey*mate* — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 02:56:25 GMT

it doesn't even have to be that hard.

100g protein, 250g coloured veg (not ones with carbohydrates) and some good oil at 3 meals a day, then another 2 to 3 similar meals a day for matabolic precision, but can be in the form of appropruate liquid meals.

3 x 30 minute ICE sessions a week and 3 weight bearing sessions 45 minutes incl rest and recovery (1 legs, 1 upper body, 1 core)
make sure you have some sweet potato or brown rice within 45 minutes of completing a weight session and Bob's your uncle!

healthy lifestyles really don't have to be complicated. stick to the above for 39 out of 42 weekly opportunities and you're in like flynn, and if you give up the smokes as well - you can run a lot further a lot faster without coughing up a lung LOL - 5klm in 30 minutes is not unrealistic

Re: Australia Climbs In Obesity Rankings

*crikey*mate* — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:03:50 GMT

and if you can't or don't want to make your own metabolic precise meals there's a company that is doing all the hard work for you. and the food is fresh, not frozen. Delivered to your door in 2 states (Qld and NSW) and available from fridges in participating stores in NSW (7), Qld (35) and Vic (1) with plans to expand further and into other states as the logistics of the supply chain is established and able to be implemented.

No, of course not. Portion control. But if you're looking for some guidence, as I said, the CSIRO is the go.

I didn't mean to contradict you love. I was just meaning that so many people think it is all so complicated and thus tend to avoid it or go for the unsustainable short term quick fix.

Re: Australia Climbs In Obesity Rankings

*crikey*mate* — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:21:47 GMT

and unfortunately, portion control doesn't extend to "the right kind" of vegetables....

they're a means to an end, have no limits and their digestion aids so many bodily functions both voluntary and involuntary - doesn't make em taste any better but LOLOLOL

Based on many responses in the boards here, a substantial number of posters are of an age where they can remember the 50's, 60's, 70's, and they would know how thin (compared to people today) most were. Photographs and film from the same era illustrate the same

Ok, so what changed? Because back then, people customarily ate their share of cakes with real cream, ate butter, drank full cream milk, ate fast foods such as traditional hamburgers with the lot plus the new, franchised burger joints which were creeping in then

People didn't exercise over much back in the day. Gyms were places no-one knew much about but which generally catered to boxers. No glossy gyms back then. The most 'modern' exercise equipment were exercise-bikes and not too many had one with even less numbers actually using one. Fish and chips, cooked in thick, well-used oil, were a staple, as were pies. Roast dinners were a national institution. Pork crackling. Bacon and eggs and fried bread for breakfast. Jam and butter and bread for afternoon tea was commonplace for kids arriving home from school. Tuck-shops sold varieties of full-cream flavoured milk and soft drinks, chunky 'salad rolls' which were big on bread and butter and slim on content, cakes thick with lard, copha, chocolate and nuts. Lollies galore. Pastries two inches thick. Fruit was used for decoration in most homes, as witnessed by school garbage bins overflowing with peeled oranges, apples, pears, etc. Booze everywhere, the social lubricant. Fondue parties. Cake stalls on every street corner, etc. etc.

What changed? Today we have an almost neurotically health-conscious population which despite the evidence mentioned above, is being blamed -- very conveniently -- for this 'epidemic of obesity' we're told is occurring. People exercise as if not to do so is akin to satanism. The sugar which flooded most Aussie homes in teh past is treated as an enemy agent. People cut down on portions, they eliminate all the alleged 'bad stuff' from their diets and live on seaweed and cardboard, yet they continue to pile on weight. And they're told it's their fault

No. Not their fault at all. Just as smoking, which is responsible for only 15% of smoking related illness and death, is blamed by the same corrupt World Health Organisation despite it's admission only a week or so ago that the air we breathe is responsible for lung and related cancers !

And it's the fluoride in the water -- the genetically modified food hiding behind lying labels -- the thousands of additives in almost all foods -- and Chemtrails spewing toxins into the air, which are responsible for people's unnatural weight gain. Oh, and let's not forget the irradiation game whereby supposedly 'fresh' fruits and vegetables are rendered as looking fit to eat when in fact most of them are two or more years old by the time they appear for sale in supermarkets

We are being poisoned, sickened and lied-to

Drag out those photos from the 50s, 60s and 70s -- look at us in our skin-tight flares and body-shirts. We looked like Slender Man compared with today. Yet we didn't consciously exercise, we ate everything that wasn't nailed down and the fattier, sweeter the better, coupled with full cream milks, full strength beers and full-fat bar-b-ques. Yes, that was before 'enriched' everything, before Chemtrails, before genetically modified foods and satanic Monsanto, before mandatory fluoride in everything

We were healthier then. We were smarter. We were happier. And we were a hell of a lot thinner

This 'obesity epidemic' attempts to blame the victims. If you buy the lies, you're a complicit victim to boot

I blame fast food. It's easy, quick and cheap, and often addictive to a degree.

You don't have to grow it or prepare it or even clean up after it.

Too easy.

It's yo yo dieting, medical conditions and poor self control that has made Australians fat.

Fluoride was in the water back in the day....

Genetically altered food

Irradiation of foods

Additives within foods

Chemtrails

(not sure how many know that an application has been made to spray several Australian States with what is claimed as being a vaccination against cholera. Right now. How many of you suffered cholera? When was the last Australian outbreak of cholera? If they can 'vaccinate' us using aerial spraying for 'cholera' --- how many other airborne substances have you and your children already been subjected to without your knowledge or consent in your gardens, at parks, at school, at the beach, etc. ?

Australia Determined To Forcibly Vaccinate By Intentional and Controlled Release of Aerosolized GMO Vaccine

The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) is on its way to approve a licence application from PaxVax Australia (PaxVax) for the intentional release of a GMO vaccine consisting of live bacteria into the environment in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria.

According to the regulator, it qualifies as a limited and controlled release under section 50A of the Gene Technology Act 2000 (the Act).

PaxVax is seeking approval to conduct the clinical trial of a genetically modified live bacterial vaccine against cholera. Once underway the trial is expected to be completed within one year, with trial sites selected from local government areas (LGAs) in Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. PaxVax has proposed a number of control measures they say will restrict the spread and persistence of the GM vaccine and its introduced genetic material, however there is always a possiblity of these restrictions failing and infecting wildlife and ecosystems.

Aerial vaccines have used in the United States directed towards animals by the use of plastic packets dropped by planes or helicopters. Sanofi (who is one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world) has subsidiary companies such as Merial Limited who manufacture Raboral, an oral live-virus poisonous to humans yet distributed wildlife in the masses.

WEST NILE VIRUS SPRAYING

In 2006 Michael Greenwood wrote an article for the Yale School of Public Health entitled, "Aerial Spraying Effectively Reduces Incidence of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Humans." The article stated that the incidence of human West Nile virus cases can be significantly reduced through large scale aerial spraying that targets adult mosquitoes, according to research by the Yale School of Public Health and the California Department of Public Health.

Under the mandate for aerial spraying for specific vectors that pose a threat to human health,

aerial vaccines known as DNA Vaccine Enhancements and Recombinant Vaccine against WNV may be tested or used to "protect" the people from vector infection exposures. DNA vaccine enhancements specifically use Epstein-Barr viral capside's with multi human complement class II activators to neutralize antibodies. The recombinant vaccines against WNV use Rabbit Beta-globulin or the poly (A) signal of the SV40 virus. In early studies of DNA vaccines it was found that the negative result studies would go into the category of future developmental research projects in gene therapy. During the studies of poly (A) signaling of the SV40 for WNV vaccines, it was observed that WNV will lie dormant in individuals who were exposed to chicken pox, thus upon exposure to WNV aerial vaccines the potential for the release of chicken pox virus would cause a greater risk to having adult onset Shingles.

CALIFORNIA AERIAL SPRAYING for WNV and SV40

In February 2009 to present date, aerial spraying for the WNV occurred in major cities within the State of California. During spraying of Anaheim, CA a Caucasian female (age 50) was exposed to heavy spraying, while doing her daily exercise of walking several miles. Heavy helicopter activity occurred for several days in this area. After spraying, she experienced light headedness, nausea, muscle aches and increased low back pain. She was evaluated for toxicological mechanisms that were associated with pesticide exposure due to aerial spraying utilizing advanced biological monitoring testing. The test results which included protein band testing utilizing Protein Coupled Response (PCR) methods were positive for KD-45. KD-45 is the protein band for SV-40 Simian Green Monkey virus. Additional tests were performed for Epstein-Barr virus capside and Cytomeglia virus which are used in bioengineering for gene delivery systems through viral protein envelope and adenoviral protein envelope technology. The individual was positive for both; indicating a highly probable exposure to a DNA vaccination delivery system through nasal inhalation.

Pentagon Document Revealed Aerial Vaccination Plans

In the Quarterly FunVax Review in June, 2007, the report lists the objective of a project listed as ID: 149AZ2 as a preparation of a viral vector that will inhibit/decrease the expression of a specific disruption gene (VMAT2) within a human population. It further indicates in the abstract that six method of virus dispersal were tested including high altitude release, water supply release, insect transmission, and various methods of diffusion.

Ok, so what changed?

I only remember the 70's. As kids, we were a lot, A LOT more active. There was not much to watch on TV. I remember playing hopscotch, elastics, badminton for example.....every day after school. HUGE contrast between now and then.
