Morons Studying Obese & Lazy Humans: Another Wasteful Government Study

Here's some recent findings about the causes of obesity reached by some of the morons who run expensive government studies at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia . The study reports " there is a link between irregular sleep [too much and too little] and big bellies". Also the study points to "a link between light sleepers to higher drinking and smoking rates".

The conclusion issued by the CDC was, " We are getting to the point that recommending enough sleep [not too little or too much] as a standard approach to weight loss and prevention of obesity". No, it wasn't Dr. Goldilocks who was the spokesperson for the CDC.

I dont know how much money was spent on this study but it covered a pool of 87,000 adults and was conducted between the years 2004 and 2006. It must have been very expensive. Did it ever occur to the study directors that the main cause of obesity is laziness ? Did it ever occur to the directors of this study that these fat underworked adults would sleep better, drink less and smoke less if they got off their fat ass' and exercised ? The human species is largely disgusting . There are too many of us that really don't merit being supported.

U.S.Affluence Produces Overpaid Executives And Obesity

Last year George Soros took home $2.9 billion. He was only one of many . Many say that sum is excessive. I agree. Last year there were app. 200 million overweight/obese people in America. Many say that sum is excessive. I agree.

Is there a basic reason in U.S. culture that produces both phenomena? Yes there is. It's America's grossly affluent society. In the case of of excessive compensation, the piles of money are available if an executive gives up pursuing or enjoying most every thing else in life. In the case of obese people, an unhealthy lack of physical exercise and over eating the wrong kind of foods while spending time watching TV or playing video games is available because of the relatively small demand put upon people to earn a living. I.E. you can be as lazy as you want if you are willing to give up most every thing else in life.

Our government prints too much money. Money is no substitute for personal effort.
