Art A. Choke, M.D. has concluded a study to determine the causes of the obesity epidemic in the United States. His amazing findings, if correct, provides clues of how the obesity epidemic can be eliminated.
“Americans sleep an average of seven hours a day and sit for an additional 15 hours That means the average American doesn’t move about for 22 hours every day” said Dr. Choke in a news interview yesterday. “That’s bad!”
“What do they do the rest of the day?” asked Walter Cronkite of CBS News.
“They eat! All the wrong stuff! Take sugar for example, the average American consumes 80 pounds of sugar a year! They eat processed foods……..a lot of it…… that’s loaded with chemicals …………horribly destructive to the body.” Dr. Choke said in an astonishing tone.
When asked how the American Obesity Epidemic can be put into remission Dr. Choke paused then said
“Americans need to get off their asses and start eating the same stuff we ate growing up in the 50’s………….there were no fat boys, girls, mothers or fathers back in my day……..and the few rare exceptions were to marvel at….…we played outdoors every day,………dreaded parental punishment was “go to your room and don’t come out until we tell you…….Please Mom, let me go outside and play, I promise to be good!.”
Dr. Choke, when pressed, continued………….“These days are different. Drive through any neighborhood on a Saturday and its deserted. No kids to be seen. You might see an occasional pizza delivery man show up. Everybody is sitting in their homes. Parental warnings of “You better behave or I’ll send you outside” bring terror to young hearts.”
