Eating and living well is not a "diet", but a lifestyle. If you don't want to live a healthy lifestyle but are only willing to apply a temporary fix, then enjoy the consequences. If you cut calories and then add them back, the consequences are entirely your own. Your obesity is your own punishment. -- Pramesh Rutaji p297tongue6221(a)newsguy.com - remove tongue to reply

Sure you did. You stated that size is due to bad food, and disease is caused by lack of exercise. Read it above--I quoted what you wrote. That sounds like about as quick of a fix as I have ever heard. My point is that if this was such a sure-fire solution, then why did the icons of those approaches come to a sudden and young death. Perhaps there are more factors that what you or the current state of modern medicine is aware of at this date. -john- -- ====================================================================== John A.

Um, how about not considering weight a problem in the first place, except at extremes of high and low? Instead, we can concentrate on things like physical fitness, eating well, and putting an end to size discrimination. If this is too much off topic, let's continue it in ssf-a, and keep the diet stuff to the diet newsgroups. Somebody keeps xposting, probably a troll looking to start a flamewar. Robin

But, not every ride at Disneyland should be required to accommodate obesity without limit. I support airlines that charge grossly obese people double fares - they don't have a right to occupy the space I've paid for. -- Pramesh Rutaji p297tongue6221(a)newsguy.com - remove tongue to reply |
