Redundant scare tactics..As if we don't get it already

So the war on obesity has gotten a new push; "Being fat = Higher Risk of Cancer".

Yes, I know because I am fat I am going to die. But why do we need these redundant message? Do these doctors think that this is going to change anything? Other then to feed this obsession our society has with making everyone skinny and perfect.

Another funny thing about this whole thing is that they're peddling the same message, "If you eat less meat, and more fruits and veggie plus less fatty foods it will help you loose weight". No shit sherlock; please tell me something I don't know. I think EVERYONE knows what they have to do to lose weight - we're all just to freaking lazy to go and do it.

Another thing this does is feed the media more fodder to peddle their diet wares. Magic pills, potions, and powders to hep make you skinny!! Not to mention every diet fad under the sun, no carbs, more carbs blah blah blah.

Let's be honest with ourselves, we all know that everything causes cancer. And you're destined to die at anytime. So instead of panicking the general masses why don't we just focus on being healthy and active. I am not talking about eating almond butter on my toast, or food that is so over the top it takes all the fun out of eating. But just following the fruit and veg guide (yeah I know I don't eat fruit / veg) and walking when you have the opportunity to rather then taking the car. We'd all be better off. You don't need to be a size 0, with 0 body fat, but you do need to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without your heart screaming at you that it wants to die.

So just do what's in your comfort zone, what you're happy with and enjoy life. Because being miserable and stressed every moment of the day is just going to kill you quicker and probably cause cancer ;)
