other than the top chef still employed from the Bush Admin to Obozo Admin, the Obozo’s have brought in their PERSONAL CHEF Yahooo News seems to herald this news as whatever the Ofreako’s eat will lead this nation ; the United States of America on a better road to health.

Fat and stupid aren’t accidental associations.

...and now fat is closely associated with “low class” in many circles.

Besides a chef did he have a butler, amid, nanny and other staff when he lived in Chicago. The media never mentioned he had a private chef when he lived in Chicago with his family. A full time private chef is unusual in this day in age even for people in the Obama’s income group. That’s $80,000 to $100,000 minimum for a private chef. I suppose he could have hired them after his two books hit it big and he had lots of cash.

This isn’t new. Anyone with diabetes knows when your sugar spikes it causes confusion. And that confusion would be more marked in older adults.

It looks like Grammy Robinson wasn’t cookin’ his waffles after all - she was doing nanny to the kids, right?
On to the private chef thing tho......... i doubt these two could ever possibly set an example for health, especially when Oholio complained about arugala which most people don’t even know about and can much less afford.
they are elitists. thanks for the breaking news on his Chicago Hyde Park pre-WH staff. I hope conservative talk radio picks up this point

So I guess this means we should stop giving aid to help feed starving people so that they can remember why they are dieing.

When did an average age of 60 become elderly? Elderly to me is 80 or 90. I’m 54 and can still do everything I’ve always done. I run, ride a mountain bike, etc. and even finished college at 53. I don’t feel almost elderly yet. :-)

Not every fat person is stupid, just like not every conservative is smart.

Most people are fat from overeating and underexercising, but some are heavy because of necessary medications that cause weight gain and bloating. Cortisone and other steroids are an example.

Such people do not desrve your condemnation. There but for grace go any of us.

These results are not impressive. First of all the result is weak in the practical sense: twenty people improved by average of not more than 2 more words out of 15. Even if they got statistical significance, it should be remembered that many things beside a valid result can yield statistical significance.

There is a big question of the bias of the investigator in this not-double-blind study. Investigator bias regularly, often innocently, makes the results of behavioral studies come out to the investigator's liking.

The reults of animal studies might be persuasive, but this result is not. There's no point in getting all theoretical to explain a finding of this human study, until your own experience convinces you or the investigator's opponent finds the same thing and someone shows how a couple of words translates into practical life or curing a disease process.

When I don’t eat, I always remember that I haven’t eaten.

Misinformation — even amusing misinformation — does not benefit conservatives at this point. It calls into question reliability and credibility on things economic.

Did Grandma seem forgetful at the holiday parties last month? It could be time to put her on a diet.

As a grandma, I worry about the political implications of medical findings of this sort. On the weakest sort of evidence, we could find ourselves issued tickets for our 30%-under-maintenance daily rations. As Nancy Pelosi might say, it could help the recovery effort if old people just ate less than their maintenance requirement.
