Stupid Obese Aussies

The rate at which Australians are becoming obese is quite frightening.

Some parents who feed their children "chips and lollies", because anything else is "too hard", not only should be taken to court for child abuse but also have their children confiscated, as they are not fit to raise them.

Junk food heavy weights like McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Hungry Jack's (Burger King), are literally making a 'killing', supplying carcinogenic 'food' to their purchasers.

In today's day and age, one can quite easily argue that there is no excuse for 'not knowing' the dangers of consuming junk food, of which also the products of Coca Cola Amatil fall under, as there is ample information available to the 'Average Joe' or even "Below Average Joe", from sources like the Internet, health experts, nutritionists, or even just plain old General Practitioner's.

The average lemonade contains approx 67.8g of sugar per 600ml (approx 17 teaspoons) , or approx 339g, 0.75 pounds (or approx 85 teaspoons) of sugar per 3 litres of soft drink.

On every bottle of lemonade sold in Australia, it is mandatory to provide a list of ingredients of the product. The amount of sugar per serving or per 100ml is provided to the consumer.

Low class workers or plainly put ignorant or the uneducated masses are more likely to fall into the obese or even morbidly obese category, due to the consumption of junk food or poor diet.

An example has been presented in the labour or left winged newspaper the Herald Sun with an illusion that an individual was unaware of his poor health until he had a free 15 minute WorkHealth check.

The 33 year old, 136kg (300lb) male subject, who drank 3 litres of soft drink per day, had a staple diet of junk food, who felt 'sluggish and tired', had sleep apnea, and life threatening breathing problems, showed nothing less than ignorance and stupidity towards his ailing health.

The propaganda machine used the fact that a 'free' WorkHealth check saved his life, whereas the signs were there for quite some time, where the subject chose to ignore them.

It is easy to see how the (herd) population are in a (cattle) class of their own.
