Alot of people think the Amish are the butt of jokes, but I read that obesity rates in Amish society comapared with the rest of America puts the rest of us to shame. Amish obesity is pretty much nonexistent for the simple reason that their metabolism rate is higher due to lots of walking and no manufactured junk food (i.e.no bad fat!) I can relate because I don't have a car and I walk alot for and it's what I credit for keeping me in shape, although I have to lay off the junk food! Any comments?
