Obesity in today's world is a very common thing. Many people are at the stage of being obese. Being obese adds a very ugly shape to your body causing a big attraction to yourself. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat and body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for the height of the person. Being a teenager and obese makes you a main target to be bullied by kids that are slim or skinny.
For being an adult and having the weight to be obese can prevent you from getting a job because of your body image. People that are obese have depression to them and try taking medicine or dieting but most cant take it and go back to eating the foods that put the weight on. Obesity occurs when you eat more calories then what you use. The balance of calories-in and calories-out has a different effect on each person.
This is because things like genetic makeup, overeating, eating high fat foods and not being physically active. Being obese can cause heart attacks, breathlessness, high cholesterol, chest pains and having a hard time doing daily activities. The risks you are taking of being obese are things like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis and some cancers. Even if you lose 5-10 percent of your weight, it can help prevent these.
Being obese hasn't really got advantages. The only one would be that you would have an excuse to get out of things that your body couldn't manage to get through like a game of soccer with family or friends. That you would be well looked after because of your health concern but still that wouldn't be fair on others. It depends on your type of culture as well because in some cultures the way to be recognized is to be obese. One of the best advantages of being obese is that in fact it's a type of sport Sumo Wrestling. To be one of these you would be looked after well and at the same time making money of it. Plus the strength involved.
The disadvantage of being obese has a list. The first one would be that your health is at risk at any time because of the excess fat in your blood and your cholesterol level being sky high can cause you to have a heart attack plus a lot more serious things which can either kill you or put you in a serious stage. It stops you from activities that you are interested in or you would like to have a go at in your daily life. You have trouble with the society of life, people seeing you think to them selves that its look very ugly and they hope not to turn out like that.
They won't sit next to you on a bus because of your size. It's an easy way of diseases infecting your body due to being so over weight. Being robbed is bad because it is so hard for you to move around and once you're on the ground you need a lot of strength to pull your weight back up and with people hitting you makes it even harder. It's hard to go shopping for cloths because you can't fit into anything flash and make yourself look good. Hard to fit into places such as cinemas as the chairs are made for an average human size.
The ethics to being obese shows that most of it is unfair but depending on the situation. Being not allowed on a plane because you are too heavy seems to be really unfair. This could lead to a lot of depression and the person may cause harm to themselves. Having things like Jenny Craig and other health clinics is a good way of helping people. To first get people that are obese to make their appetite a lot smaller is one of the hard things.
The government hasn't got much of a big role in people being obese because it is not really their fault. It people being obese and no one can stop them from buying the food they wont or how much food they wont because that's just unethical and cant be done. So really its up to the person to get their life's in a straight line and make themselves loose the excess fat on their bodies and if not they will suffer the consequences. The society of being obese super markets would be pleased when an obese person walks in because they know that they have a big appetite and are going to make a fair bit of money of them. But what can you do to help this? Nothing much because again it's up to them you can't tell them that their not allowed because their obese.
My opinion on people being obese is that they should consider their life and how much of a risk they are at of dying or being in serious danger to their lives. I find it disgusting for obese people to walk around and that they can't even find some decent cloths unless they get them made. Seeing obese people with the amount of fat on them is just way to extreme how do they live like that and enjoy their lives I wouldn't have a clue. The ones that have it genetically I will is okay because they can't do anything about it but still they should try.
