Beat what? your suggestion that everyone should go on the atkins diet? Yeah, I like my arteries clear of shit, thank you very much. I follow a strict vegan diet and I am very active. I live a happy, thin, energetic life. Anywho, I dont really understand where you were coming from in your response. I never made any argument over what people should eat to lose weight(bc I honestly dont care, its different for everyone), only that people need to be in charge of their own nutrition, and to have a better relationship with their bodies, to desire exercise and physical activity (its in our genetic makeup, we should wanna get up and move!). Sure, the industries are in place, and they may be the socalled powers that be, but people need to be smarter than gimmicking schemes, that are yes manipulative, but also very transparent. I think that what a movie like Wall-E can do for us is to open our eyes to the bigger picture, that we don't need to be in the position of being the most overweight and wasteful nation in the world, and that we need to embrace our own ability to make decisions and think for ourselves.
