  • Taxing someone because they are fat!

    Get real! Taxing someone because they are overweight is inhuman! The real culprit is the American diet and prescription drugs. When one's metabolism is out-of-whack, one can not lose their storage of unwanted fat. However, it is possible through dietary changes and lessening the need for prescription drugs. Learn ...

    It's hard to change isn't it, particularly when one does not fully understand why. This article reflects the social confusion that results from a ''party'' that has gone many decades too long.

  • Personal responsibility, people?

    This article was among the bigger loads of hogwash I've ever read. Genetics plays ''more'' of a role in obesity than behavior and diet? Bull. Travel some. Go to Asia. Maybe the Mediterranean.
