My 500 lb friends and I are distraught that you used the word fat. We prefer "healthfully disinclined," and your discrimination is part of the global standard for unhealthy lifestyles. Shame on you.

| ...now I'm looking through that report and wondering how people react if they figured out one of those photos was their fat ass. I looked and couldn't tell if any of them were mine, so I am relieved. |

I've seriously wondered this. There are SO many news articles and whatnot that show this sort of thing, jus torso down. Do they really think an overweight person can't tell their overweight torso and shirt in a lineup? It's always "annonymous" like this. Strange...
ETA: Don't call it weight. We prefer "gravitational attraction." Just because the universe loves us more doesn't mean you can hate on us.

| I'm a certified Phys Ed teacher in PA and have been in a position of substitute teacher for 5 years. The reason is because we continue to allow the individual states to decrease the number of required years of physical education a student needs to graduate. We teach the children that one day of physical activity a week in school is fine and they learn nothing. The state board of education thinks it falls on the shoulders of the parents, which is true, but their parents are not certified to speak on how to properly eat and exercise, we are. A nation of overweight individuals is being designed by our educational system. We require two years of a foreign language to graduate high school and only one year of health. Someone explain to me why it is more important to teach a foreign language then it is to learn about nutrition, human anatomy, sex education and all the other topics that go along with our health education programs. How about this, learn to speak and write English properly first along with learning about understanding heart health, diabetes, STD's and other diseases that are running ramped in the U.S. before we teach our kids to speak another language. Maybe then we can start to lower the obesity levels. |

Interestingly, in Colorado at least, Health is separate from Physical Education and anything related to activity. Health classes include the whole STD/sex talk stuff. Human anatomy is covered primarily in sciences classes. Regarding heart health, diabetes and what not, this is not covered in any general curriculum.
Also, the there is no foreign language requirement, though it is recommended (last I knew). |

At an individual level, per CDC recommendations, it means:
For Important Health Benefits
Adults need at least:
2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR
1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR
An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
For Even Greater Health Benefits
Adults should increase their activity to:
5 hours (300 minutes) each week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR
2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) each week of vigrous-intensity aerobic activity and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR
An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and
muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
