The Problem Of Obesity

The new data on obesity was published by ZeroHedge a couple of days ago. It's becoming a real problem in a lot of countries, not just the USA, of course. A fairly recent study which they link to claims that:

 Adults with extreme obesity have increased risks of dying at a young age from cancer and many other causes including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney and liver diseases...

and even that extreme obesity is more dangerous than smoking:

...the researchers found that the number of years of life lost for class III obesity was equal or higher than that of current (versus never) cigarette smokers among normal-weight participants in the same study...

Being overweight and/or obese is often presented (in some corners of the internet) as a purely female issue, which is very far from the truth. For instance, in my country, approximately the same percent of males and females (50+%) is overweight. Men will often complain about their wives or girl-friends putting on weight and becoming unattractive, but the reverse is true, too. Overweight or obese men aren't attractive to women, either!

In fact, men suffering from obesity will also suffer from increased estrogen which in turn will decrease their testosterone, not only making them less masculine in the process, but also leading to all sorts of nasty diseases. (Another thing  which surprisingly increases estrogen in men is self-pleasuring. These Catholic Church fathers were right, after all!)

In short, we all of us should try to eat well and to be as physically fit as possible, not only with the objective of staying attractive for our marriage partner, but for your own health as well.

  1. Hi Sanne. I appreciate you pointing out that overweight or obese men are not attractive. Neither are men with a high number of previous lovers, but that's probably another post in and of itself. Some seem to think it's only women who need to be "good."

    I enjoy your blog; keep it up!

  2. Thanks, Lady Virtue, unfortunately some folks always try to turn anything into men vs women issue,which is a tactic used to divide us, imo.

    In my country men are more obese than women. Meaning there is bigger percentage of obese men than women, and they are heavier. When issues is disgussed on internet forums, men claim "large amounts of muscle mass will make men *obese* even though they are really fit". Yeah, right. It is suprising how these modern muscle mass is located around ones belly and is rather soft...

    So men are fat and watch p*rn and end up having too much estrogen. That explains why it seems men are not that manly anymore.

    And think about the gun laws. I read about study that just handling a firearm (even a replica) without shooting raises men's testosterone levels a lot.

    Men with low testosterone are so much easier to control...

    Gosh, I just realized why men who chose civilian service instead of military service seem so unmasculine and unattractive to me. Propably they have less testosterone to begin with and they choose not to handle weapons at their early adulthood...

  8. They prefer to handle babies instead, while wifey works, then complain she doesn't respect him.
