Re: The main reason why The Netherlands has 5 times less obese people than the U.S.
WOW who knew!!!

Apparently all that pedaling has a very negative effect on the health of the 65+ in the Netherlands. Only 55% of them are able to live in their home independently compared to 88% of Americans aged 65+

[link to aspe.hhs.gov]

I guess I am smart after all :)
 Quoting: maskedchicken

No, you're even more stupid now.

This has nothing to do with sickness, but with free facilities.

The elderly in America do not get free supportive housing and free full care, so they have to rely on family fin money, housing, medicine and support.

READ your own statistics again.

low level of care : Netherlands 9 - USA 0.9
high level of care : Netherlands 3 - USA 4.6

which means that the elderly go to free supportive housing to get free low level care (cooking, washing, shopping).

look at "Own home, with formal care"...

Norway, one of the richest countries in the world, gives the low care at home, while Netherlands also pay for free housing.
 Quoting: Dutch Dude 913721


What makes you think the US doesn't offer free supportive care for 65+ ? We most certainly do... Housing, medical, is all free as well as retirement through Social Security.

5 times less? Few weeks ago it was about 45% that's obese here so in the US 225% of the people is obese? scratching

You both don't get it, do you ?

This thread is about getting a bike and start working that body.

If you do that regularly (of which I gave the Dutch example) you get different stat results after some time.

I don't wanna hear sorry ass wimpy excuses, just get the word out that regular exercise and the right diet solves a lot of problems.

And you can call me whatever you like, at least I'm not traitor, just proud when I see all these parents, old people, working people get a bike, no matter what weather and do their thing while staying lean, compared to other countries.

This OP amuses me with his persistent use of the word "stupid". I feel like he is fishing for information to write a very elementary level report on obesity in the United States for his social studies class. Perhaps we should start feeding him misinformation :)

I wish this for my Gran. She turned 76 this year, and she has to use a wheelchair to get around because her circulation is so bad. She was overweight for a large length of her life, and although she worked, she did little else for intentional exercise. I don't want that to be me if I am blessed with that many years.

Hehheh, yeah.

Took me a few hours to learn to survive as a pedestrian
crossing the bicycle lanes in lovely lovely Amsterdam.

It's a folk sport for you guys, isn't it, going as fast as
possible through the traffic without hitting any tourists.

chuckle

Best vacation I ever had, by fa-a-ar!
Absolutely loved Amsterdam and the people in it.

cheers

The Dutch do seem a lot less...umh...subdued than most
other Europeans.
hmm
Took me about 90 seconds of Dutch TV
though, to see that you are being marched into the global
corporate police state same as everybody else.
The propaganda exactly the same as in the rest of EU.

peace

Okay: listen people, regular exercise and the right diet solves a lot of problems!
(However, it will not teach you how to be a better person who will not mistake chauvism for pride.)

I live very close to the dutch border. Sometimes I drive (in my car) to Roermond-City just to watch some fine dutch pussy on their bicycles. A lot of times I get a peek at their cute panties. A lot of the dutch girls are really hot. Sometimes when it's really hot outside I ask a girl if she would like to give me a blowjob in my cool airconditioned car.

Guys on bicycles always look faggy!
