Being fat is as bad as smoking !
Being overweight or seriously underweight as a teenager curbs life expectancy as much as smoking 10 cigarettes a day, a study suggests. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7908575.stm

Being fat is terrible on your health,but who's fault is it? Look at all those woman who feed their baby adult food and wonder...Why is my kid so overweight?I mean ,give me a break.Some peoples just don't watch what they eat and it affect their children.And of course you have the parent that are always making comment on how their daughter looks and eventualy she feel that she's just not good enough and she goes and stop eating!!I mostly blame parent for not teaching their kids how to eat healty,that it doesn't matter how others look in magazine and show the exemple.....Be healthy.Thank you and have a nice day.

Yes. We must be aware of our health even if we're not fat or obese. How much more if we're that one? Health is Wealth and Prevention is Better than Cure..would agree with that?...

Hi,
True.
Body mass& area increased, while heart size or blood didnot.So, same blood supplying oxygen to increased area.Heart's work is overloaded, thus Life-span minimised.
That's the reason, 'loosing weight' is so much talked about!
