I was in the Dr's. office yesterday reading magazines and an article caught my eye. The article was about obesity and the women "fighting" obesity. This women pickets McDonald's, harasses her gym (because one weekend they were giving away ice cream), and goes on Fox News accusing America of the epidemic. HMMMMMM I think she is 50% correct.
I believe her tactics are incorrect. Do you take away guns from people thinking they will not use guns, do you make alcohol illegal in hopes that people will not drink in excess, do you shelter you kids from "bad" things so they will not participate in "bad" things (well maybe to an extent I would never take my kid to a drug dealer however I would teach them about drugs so they will not use them), oh yes and the scariest of all do you take away sex from minors so they will not have premarital sex (not sure how you do this I guess a Chasity belt???).
The answer is no you do not take away you teach, teach, teach until you are blue in the face. If you want America to not have an obesity problem teach children to eat correctly it is OK if you go to McDonald's every once in a while it is not OK if you go three times a day!!!! It is OK if you have ice cream at the gym once in a while it is not OK if you do it every time you work out. So I say to this lady ...quit being so excessive maybe if we teach people instead of eliminating, people will be able to make the correct choices..... I mean God did give us Free Will for a reason.

yeah, we had 6 new patients yesterday in jt replacement -- 5 were too fat to have surgery!!!! nbc news said now 32% of americans are overweight, 35% obese, so 2/3 of us are F A T. even 1/3 children is overweight! bern - can you believe i used to be what they call "husky" when i was in elementary school.
sumeet husky is fine obese is not....you should have seen my brother dan he was a little husky as well and then he grew and it all melted away now he is a skinny minny
Sumeet, I've seen those pics of you during that phase and you weren't even husky. It's called baby fat.
i don't think it's called baby fat when you're 12 years old.
