Economy 52,839 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2015/08/18/obesity-now-costs-the-economy-more-than-smoking/ 46% of Canada Government spending (Federal + Provincial) goes towards healthcare. it is the biggest financial burden the Country carries. Healthcare costs Canada more annually than education, infrastructure and military combined. New findings point the biggest thing straining healthcare costs besides old age is no longer tabbacco but over-weight problems particularly obesity. 47% of Canadians are overweight (55% of those over 25). The Province with the highest proportion is New Brunswick with 51% of population over-weight and the lowest is in British Columbia at 39%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla 7,595 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I have nothing against obese people, but the fact that over half the population is obese is ridiculous. People are so unhealthy and so inactive, and I really hope this modern day lifestyle becomes healthier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 52,839 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 and yet obese people blame everyone but themselves the fact that half of the population is fat is not normal well for some ppl its not easy. Im a skinny guy but i eat so much crap and fatty foods. Now ive finally cut down on that and increased carbs and protein and have been working out at gym with a buddy to maximize results... I managed ti gain 10 pounds only and remain skinny. Clearly genetics is playig a role here. If i struggle so much to gain, maybe some ppl have genetics that makes it hard to not be chuncky??? Even now deapite my reductions i still eat tones of junk food (im working on cutting down some more) but i never get crap judgment just cause im lucky to not gain weight but im not any better than those "fat people" just because i got skinny genes Of course habits are bad. Too much ppl eat garbage (myself included). But then who gains weight and doesnt will partially be determined by genes. I eat more calories than many of my friends who are bigger than me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
