They didn't become fat by eating too much and exercising too little. They became fat by living in a society that turns dietary diseases into a profitable industry. How is a person supposed to maintain a healthy weight and eat a nutritious diet when they are surrounded by junk foods that are advertised continuously to them? When it costs five times as much to buy 100 calories of broccoli as it does to buy 100 calories of Oreos? <br /><br />The only up-side of the obesity epidemic is seats on aircraft - have you noticed how roomy and comfortable they are for us normal-sized people, now that so many people are blobs?RMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374925668753408346noreply@blogger.com
