I have to do a speech (in speech class, 10th grade) on a problem in the world, so I picked OBESITY. We have to have 4 vocab words, but I can't think of any good ones that relate to obesity.
Absorption: Uptake. In the biomedical sciences, absorption has diverse specific meanings.
Bariatric surgery: Surgery on the stomach and/or intestines to help a person with extreme obesity lose weight.
Body mass index: A key index for relating a person's body weight to their height. The body mass index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by their height in meters (m) squared.
Bulimia: Also called bulimia nervosa. An eating disorder characterized by episodes of secretive excessive eating (binge-eating) followed by inappropriate methods of weight control, such as self-induced vomiting (purging), abuse of laxatives and diuretics, or excessive exercise.
Bypass: An operation in which a surgeon creates a new tubular pathway for the movement of fluids and/or other substances in the body.
Calorie: A unit of food energy.
Cholesterol: The most common type of steroid in the body, cholesterol has gotten something of a bad name. However, cholesterol is a critically important molecule.
Digestive system: The organs that are responsible for getting food into and out of the body and for making use of it.
Ephedra: A medicinal herb, known scientifically as Ephedra sinica and Ephedra equisetina, also known as mahuang and herbal ecstasy.
Fat: 1 Along with proteins and carbohydrates, one of the three nutrients used as energy sources by the body.
HDL: High density lipoprotein.
Jenny Craig: Jenny Craig is a diet program that originated in Australia in 1983 in Australia and started U.S. operations in 1985.
Metabolism: The whole range of biochemical processes that occur within us (or any living organism). Metabolism consists both of anabolism and catabolism (the buildup and breakdown of substances, respectively)..
Nutrition : The science or practice of taking in and utilizing foods.
Overweight: The term "overweight" is used in two different ways. In one sense it is a way of saying imprecisely that someone is heavy. The other sense of "overweight" is more precise and designates a state between normal weight and obesity .
Phen-Fen: The once-popular diet-drug combination of fenfluramine and phentermine that, amidst much media attention, was taken off the market because of concern for heart valve damage.
Pound: A measure of weight equal to 16 ounces or, metrically, 453.6 grams. The word "pound" goes back to the Latin "pondo" which meant a "weight" (but one of only 12 ounces). The abbreviation for pound-just to confuse non-pound people-is lb. which stands for "libra" (Latin for pound).
Stomach: The sac-shaped digestive organ that is located in the upper abdomen, under the ribs. The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, and the lower part leads into the small intestine.
Weight loss: Weight loss is a decrease in body weight resulting from either voluntary ( diet, exercise ) or involuntary (illness) circumstances.

Obesity is a killer, causing folks to have diabetes, strokes and heart attacks. Cigarettes also kill, thus we have taxed them to very high prices, thus discouraging folks from smoking. Should we start by having Fat Sections in Restaurants, or perhaps insisting that Fatties gobble their calorie-high foods outside on the curb, 100 feet from the doorway, thus taking them from the sight of slimmer, healthier folks? Should we give obese people the same treatment we have given cigarette smokers, with similar laws for eating fatty foods? Would this cut down on obesity? Would it save lives? Would it relieve the high cost of treating these people for strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and other diseases ? Or is it any of our business what anyone does with his or her life?
Then we need a 'stupid kids drinking tax' as they kill people and get pregnant with kids that we have to pay for.
And an 'anorexia tax' as they have heart attacks and die and use valuable hospital resources.
And a 'bulimia tax' as they eat lots of high calorie food s and barf it up and the acid erodes their teeth and the puking and laxatives cause heart disease and they use up valuable hospital resources.
And a druggie tax for the potheads who increase their psychosis and use up valuable resources
And a druggie tax for the coke heads who have heart attacks, or OD.
And a meth tax on all the former methheads who now have health problems.
And a smart Alec tax for people like you who use up hospital resources when someone beats them up for calling other human beings fatties.

I am trying to find out how those that consider obesity believe that American corporations have promoted unhealthy and large portion diets that make them responsible for the epidemic.
Please identify whether you are a male or female.
american corporations have promoted it by making it more available and easier. but its is the consumers fault for eating unhealty no one is making them eat it. It not really the coporations fault, it the life style, american live a a fast world were they are constantly on the go they need quick meals, and they compromise there health.
americans just go for whatever is quick and easy

From every side possible,,, for example,
Does it really -
.. reduce Intelligence ?
.. decrease Height ?
.. etc
Also, if the person lost his obesity, would his body get back to normal 100 % ?
Obesity leads to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, disk disease, heart disease, varicose veins, gall bladder problems, pancreatitis. It contributes to joint problems such as bad hips and knees. People who are obese lose muscle tone because they don't move much. Breathing problems are common, shortness of breath, as well as sleep apnea, which can be very serious, sometimes fatal. Obesity can lead to depression or a persistent sense of sadness and unhappiness. There is also research to suggest obesity increases risk of certain kinds of cancer.
I don't think it actually affects intelligence or height, though disk disease can eventually make you shorter. However, obese people may be viewed by society as being less intelligent because people sometimes react that way to someone who is different.
If the person lost the weight his body could get back to normal in most ways. Certainly health would be much improved. However losing a lot of weight can lead ot lots of loose or excess skin in different areas of the body.

Im researching this topic for a critical thinking class and would like to read some different points of view. Some things to think about are "is it ok to be obese if you are comfortable with yourself" and " How does WIC and Food Stamps play into obesity". The media and how they advertise is also good to think about. Thanks in advance!
The government should make laws against Fast Food places forcing them to make their food healthier…but that will never happen. They should also make free programs to help people lose weight and kids should be encouraged to be fit at a younger age before its too late. Parents are too blame for their fat and lazy kids as much as the kids are.

This could be yourself, or someone else you know. I'd love to hear people's experiences of living with super morbid obesity.
painful because you know that person is killing themselves slowly for others.
That's how I feel about it.
