A new initiative by the International Association for the Study of Obesity found that among EU countries Germany has the most overweight women and men. Among adults, the study found that 58.9 percent of German women are overweight; 75.4 percent of men are carrying excess pounds. Beer, fatty foods and a lack of physical activity are the principle culprits behind Germans' weight gain, according to experts, and rates of obesity and overweight in Germany now match those in the United States. Obesity is not only a huge problem in the USA but becoming one for many countries in Europe. To understand the scale of the problem you only need to look at the figures. The Obesity Crisis dubbed 'The Fat Economy' is a direct consequence of the social improvements we have enjoyed over the past few decades. This has made us lazier, exercise less and eat food in a form quite different from earlier generations. In the USA sixty-four percent of Americans are now overweight and 31 percent are obese. Yearly medical spending on obesity is about 93 billion dollars and about half of that is paid by Medicare and Medicaid. Obesity is rapidly becoming a trillion dollar disease that may eventually bankrupt America's health cost system. Running a close second among women was the UK,Cheap True Religion Boootcut, where 58.5 percent of women are overweight. Among men, the Czech Republic came in second. The thinnest Europeans of both sexes live in Italy and France. If you think of the enormous economic and social changes that have taken place in the last fifty years it is quite staggering. New technologies have transformed our transport systems, communications systems, workplaces and even our homes with all the mod cons. Women have freed themselves from the kitchen and achieved a remarkable independence to build highly successful careers in business, commerce and politics that would have been unthinkable 50 years ago. Women who once stayed at home and knew how to prepare and cook good food for the family don't have the time now. The growth of fast food restaurants, junk food merchants and packaged food for quick cooking may well meet the demands of our busy lives but has also fuelled the 'The Fat Economy'. Despite all these improvements there are some downsides - and one downside that crept up on us is ‘The Obesity Crisis’. And there has been one very big social change and that is in the workforce - women. In Britain it is estimated that over 3 million people are suffering from malnutrition. This is a shocking fact but hardly the result of famine conditions. On the contrary it is because people are eating too much of the wrong foods that are high in additives,True Religion Jeans On Sale, salt,Cheap True Religion Flar Illusion, sugar and trans-fats The Obesity Crisis is mainly a western phenomenon that afflicts the wellbeing and good health of hundreds of millions across the USA and Europe.
