Kiwis third fattest in new obesity report
By Alanah May Eriksen
Healthcare lobbyists have criticised the Government's funding cuts in
the face of a report showing New Zealand is the third fattest nation
in the developed world.
They fear disease and complications caused by obesity will lead to
higher healthcare costs in the future.
The Health Care Data 2009 report, by the Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development, focused on 30 nations.
Of those that reported on weight issues, all showed they were getting
fatter.
The obesity rate among adults in New Zealand in 2007 was 26.5 per
cent. This compared with figures reported the previous year by the
United States at 34.3 per cent and Mexico at 30 per cent.

So, with an extensive programme on obesity running for years we
have got worse.
Looks like a programme we should indeed cancel.

Such a report is useless unless it shows whether certain ethnic groups
are fatter than others, which I strongly suspect by observing people
while visiting the supermarket. The report should also note what
proportion of those ethnic groups are in each country.

No surprise there, eh?

Like the welfare prop it is, state health care encourages obesity -
"I've made myself obese, doctor; you are to fix it.". All it does is
provide employment for thousands of health care workers who could be
more usefully employed elsewhere.

Simply make obesity socially unacceptable and impose a few bans on the
obese hogs where it hurts most. Nothing like a dose of public shame
and stigma to put people straight.
Obesity should be classified as what it surely is: a self-inflicted
condition no different from smoking and alcoholism.
Time for some tough love to be dealt to these waddling, gluttonous,
slump-gut wasters.

I think you'll find there are very few, if any, health workers
employed dealing with obesity.
Only one person can fix it, and that is the person concerned. Or
maybe the surgeon - but thats not a fix as much as a plaster-over
