all those gyms like 24 hour fitness and such shouldn't charge so much for a

membership instead they should pay people to go work out. that would be a

much better incintive for people to exercise. or offer some sort of ridiculous

prize for losing 50 pounds. like an all expense paid trip to tahiti or something

cool.

I consider looking good and feeling healthy to be reward enough by itself, but I guess many Americans will never know either feeling.

Plus the more fat people we have the more foreigners will make fun of us...  It reinforces the stereotype that we are lazy and over-consume.

Many Americans(and Canadians ) ARE consuming far too much food, and other resources. Hell the whole world will soon be at a point where we are all consuming far to many resources.

By 2050 The world will need a whole planet worth of resources just to get by, right now if everyone wanted to live like the average American we would need 4 planets.

That being said, what do you guys think is going to happen as 2050 approaches??
I see two major possible outcomes among many. World wide economic collapse. Or massive wars over whats left.
I wonder if a fax tax will be our concern then, I doubt it.
