Default Re: The American \"Obesity Epidemic?\"

MyTurn2Raise- You're touting tremendously absurd fat acceptance junk science. There's a ridiculous "pro-fat" lobby out there that is I can only assume in bed with the agribusiness lobby or something. It's all garbage.

And anyway, as someone noted early, it's not "overweight" people who are the problem. It's "morbidly obese". kidcolin's hypothetical like 5'11" 210 office working dude who maybe eats fast food twice a week and drinks too much pop and/or beer is nothing. Maybe he isn't as good as basketball as he could be, but he isn't the problem. The problem is the sedentary porkers for whom eating a healthy meal would be an anomaly and who take the elevator to the second floor.

You can eat too much. You can eat like [censored]. And you can be sedentary. You just can't be all three, because then you're stealing my tax dollars.
