Being Fat In America by John Robbins

I received an email on Saturday from VegSource telling me about an article written by John Robbins,  Being Fat In America. I was so moved by the email that I started forwarding it to family and friends and I just knew that I had to share it here. It’s a provocative piece on what it means to be obese in our society, and he examines two very different paths. At Slender For Life™ clients learn to think about natural approaches to health, and to start to thinking of food as medicine. In other words, to eat a 100-percent healthy plant-strong diet. Hypnosis for weight loss can make it so easy and so natural to eat healthy and to end the cravings and desires for the food that makes most Americans fat. Put weight loss hypnosis to work in your life and lets end being fat in America.

Being Fat In America

The Centers for Disease Control tells us that obese people have a substantially higher risk not only for heart attacks, but also for diabetes, most cancers, and many other types of cardiovascular disease.

Heart Attack Grill owner Basso doesn’t plan any changes on account of the young man’s death. Scantily-clad waitresses will still regularly exhort customers to eat all they can. He’s making money, and thinks the restaurant is great fun.

But is it funny that we have become the most obese society in the history of the world? Two-thirds of the residents of the United States are now either overweight or obese. So many children are developing the most common type of diabetes that medical authorities have had to change the name of the disease. What was formerly called “adult-onset diabetes” is now called “type 2 diabetes.” It accounts for 90 percent of the diabetes in the country, and the incidence in children is skyrocketing.

It’s easy to point our fingers and pass judgment. We can blame fast food companies that aggressively market unhealthy foods to children, we can blame people who overeat for their lack of will power, and we can blame parents for feeding their kids poorly. We can blame harmful ingredients such as trans-fats and high-fructose corn syrup, and we can blame the pressures of modern life that turn people into addicts of one kind or another.

We can play the blame game ad infinitum, but who does that help? Does it help those with weight problems that leave them vulnerable to disease and prone to feelings of shame?

What if we were instead to learn from those people who have taken the arduous, difficult, and ultimately joyful journey from obesity to health?

Over the years with Slender For Life™ I have heard similar stories of remarkable changes in health as people began to eat plant-strong meals, exercised and used hypnosis for weight loss to support their efforts. I have learned so much from weight loss hypnosis clients about the ultimately joyful journey from obesity to health.
