Obesity is definitely not natural OR normal!. Obesity comes from over-eating extremely unhealthy foods - such as junk foods with excessive amounts of grease, saturated fats, trans fat, and ingriedients such as high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils, which, by the way, are some of the WORST things for you to comsume!.

Excessive of something results in excessive of something else, and in obesities case, excessive amounts of unhealthy foods results in excessive fat on your body - WAY too much excessive fat!.

Maintaining a healthy diet is important and shouldn't be belittled with unhealthy foods and choices!. Being healthy is vital, becuase if you're not all that healthy, you might die!. That is, is you are EXTREMELY morbidly obese!.

I watch multiple shows about morbidly obese people on the discovery channel, and on an episode they interviewed morbidly obese people!. There was the highest weighing man in the world, weighing in at a whopping 1,076 pounds was the half-ton man!. He at in his 'bed' for the past 10 years of his life with a diaper that would be changed by assistants and/or family members helping him out!. He was so fat that it took 10 men to carry him out of his house THROUGH THE WINDOW, but before that, they couldn't roll him on his back because all of the pressure from the fat on his body pressed down on his heart and caused him to stop breathing!

There were other people that ranged from being 400-700 pounds that also were occupied in their beds for 3-5 years!.!.!.

Obvisouly, this is NOT NORMAL!. Ask anyone!. Look up a picture of the half-ton man!. The link to one is below:Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are right, they would be terrified!.
It is not normal!. It is a side affect of our modern lifestyles!. Years ago people had to go hunt and gather their own food and cook it!. These days people either don't work and sit on their backsides at home or they have desk jobs, they buy food already prepared at the supermarket or order in!. We don't put enough effort into anything!. We are all guilty of giving into lifes conveniences!.
Another problem the world has is focusing on obesity when there is more too it than that!. Thin people can be lazy and unhealthy too!.
It is common these days for people to have an unhealthy relationship with food!. Through boredom and depression we reach for it!. Obesity isn't the problem, it is the symptom!. The problem is disordered eating and not enough being demanded of our bodies physically!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that it isnt natural, but its genetic so say, if your dad was fat and you get alot of looks and stuff from him, you could get overweight when you get older even if you arent know!. like when you start you period or something, maybe, you will start to gain weight!.
but I also think that alot of people get depressed and they will just go into their room and eat all the time!. like if their parents were abusive and they get all mad and angry, they will just eat!.
Like im not saying this stuff about me I am just saying it figurativley!.!.
I am 5'2 and 108 pounds and somedays I feel skinny, and somedays I feel fat!.!. and that is part of human nature!.
Hope this helps!! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If there is an exceptional amount of food around, then other animals gorge on it, like the animals you quoted!. The fact is that we in the western world have the amount we can gorge on and the third world suffers!. I do belive that people in the middle ages gorged when the could, but would burn the fat off when there was no food!. Unfortunately we never have the chance to burn it off in our priviliged worlds!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it really depends on the person!.
my friend had a condition in her esophegous(or however you spell it) that held back fat and wouldnt let her digest it!. Naturally, she's a bit heavier!.
but being obese and inactive in not natural!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think being fat is natural, if it were natural people would not get health risks and have problems when they are heavy!. Just like being skinny is not natural!.!. there is a weight that is suffice for us to be just like any mammal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
