WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Can't lose weight on a low-fat diet? Maybe you need to cut carbs instead, and a new genetic test may point the way, maker Interleukin Genetics Inc reported on Wednesday.

The same people who will think nothing of slamming down 150 bucks for this are the same people who whine about healthcare costs. Just like the people who pay 200 or 300 bucks for hair services: cut, color, style, perms (straightening) etc. every 6 weeks are the same people who believe healthcare should be free.

I might actually pay to find out. Are you suggesting I whine about healthcare costs?

Went to see Galligher the only time I went to Vegas.
Only joke I remember:
He gone to the Dr because he notice he was going bald. Dr told him lose of hair was in his genes.
His retort: I told the Dr “I got hair in my jeans it’s on top of my head that I’m losing it.”
