Ambulance riding whales...
OF COURSE!!! Obese people should always be required to pay more, cigarette smokers are... Obesity is the cause of so many medical problems... I'm so tired of all the fattys out there blaming their largeness on a ''Thyroid Problem'' In my opinion it's a combination of low self-esteem, with poor eating habits learned as a child from their obese ...

Lard
Lard increases the tendency to obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is a particularly abhorrent food for children. This is an inane article and insults the intelligence of anyone who knows anything about good nutrition, medicine or good food. Michael Pollan would not be happy to have his name mentioned by this author. Jay Gordon, ...

LA City Council are communists !
This an excellent example of big government that the republicans have been talking about getting rid of since the Reagan administration. Ironically this is happening while a republican is in the governor's office. City re-zoning in only poor areas should be illegal unless it to curb crime. Even then that's a touchy issue because it borders on ...

righto physician! I was looking at my high school yearbook (1976) a couple days ago - good lord how much fatter kids are these days! Some fundamental shift in genetics in the last 30 years? Hardly. The kids today are relentlessly - and successfully - marketed to by companies (Big N Large) exploiting an unfortunate genetic quirk of humans - with a ...

Define "wrong message"
I appreciated this article, because as much as I loved Wall-E, it is refreshing to read something examining a point of view other than pure unadulterated awe. Additionally, I followed most of the links, and found the ''Junkfood Science'' article especially interesting. And I did walk out of the theater behind an overweight blonde man with a buzz ...

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. People are thin there. There simply aren't chubby children scarfing down Happy Meals everywhere you look (like there are here). But Asian and ...
