Obesity is a Big Problem

Many of my earlier posts are about obesity. Due to the fact that it is an on-going problem, I’m going to continue to write articles directed towards obesity.

Obesity has become a big problem not only in the health industry, but in almost every industry except the Weight Loss Industry. Airlines are charging obese flyers for two tickets; amusement parks are showing potential riders how big the seats are before they get in line and ferries are changing the rules as to how many passengers they can hold. The average weight of an adult used to be 160 pounds, now its 185 pounds. That means that normally they could take 8 passengers, now they can only take 7. Multiply that by 100 passengers or 1000 passengers and you have a tremendous amount of lost revenue. The only way to make up for that revenue is to increase the price that everybody pays. Many ferries will have 2000 passengers on a daily basis. Even though you aren’t obese, you are still paying higher prices because of obesity. Total weight also affects elevators where they have had to reduce the posted maximum capacity of people.

Obesity isn’t just a problem in the United States, it is a problem worldwide. In 1980, about 5 percent of men and 8 percent of women worldwide were obese. By 2008, the rates were 10 percent for men and 14 percent for women. Among rich countries, the US had the worst body mass index and Japan had the best. Other countries keeping the weight off are Belgium, France, Finland, Italy and Switzerland. Today, according to www.worldometers.info there are over 523 million people worldwide that are clinically obese. According to the World Health Organization, more than 40 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2010.

Obesity means fat around your heart, lungs and internal organs. End result is an increase of diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, stroke, some cancers and ultimately medical expenses.

My next article will address the economics of obesity.
