Too much food is causing them to get fat. And they’re not just fat. Their feet and hands are enormous. I think it’s hormones in the milk.

I look around my neighborhood and it is empty. When my kids were young there were children everywhere. I live across the street from the park, most children only go there with their parents. The world is a different place when children have to wait to play outside until their parents have time to take them there. Why are they not all over their yards running and playing their hearts out? That’s a bigger problem than eating. Heck, an Amish family eats all wrong, yet are thin. They physically work hard, we don’t anymore.
There is far more to this than eating.

yawn - some day the nursing homes will be filled with liberals who did without good tasting food so they could sit in some nursing home hallway in their little wheel chairs - wishing they had taken those extra pieces of pizza....

>>The research team speculated that the absence of a relationship might have something to do with how even the food-desert dweller gets around.<<

Well that was solved in my desert. There is a vehicle to transport folks for free to and from the grocery.

I guess those who need it know the times for the pickup bus.

With liberals, no matter what the issue, it is never the responsiblity of the individual.

It is always someone else or society or some unexplained cosmic force that causes problems.

And there is only one form of matter in the entire universe that can correct all the ills that plague liberals so much - and that is TAXPAYERS MONEY!

I consider MSG (google MSG-rats and obesity) and high fructose corn syrup to be major contributors to obesity. I ate plenty of fast food as a kid and drank Coke made with sugar, as did all my friends. None of us were fat. My 16 year old daughter is a couch potato geek. She can eat pretty much anything she wants including a fair amount of candy, but I keep MSG and HFC out of the house as much as possible. She’s skinny as a rail. Every once in a while she gets a fast food burger or pizza so she doesn’t feel deprived, otherwise, it’s real food. I don’t think my diet as a kid had near as much MSG as today’s diet. Couple MSG with HFC and (IMHO) it’s a fast track to obesity. (I’ve actually had nutrition classes as an RN and have followed diet theories over the years.)

If they’d get off their asses and get a job, their diet would take care of itself. You can’t sit on the sofa all day watching TV, texting on the cell phone or playing video games and expect to be thin.

So let me see if I got this. Obesity is caused by lack of readily available food...</liberal logic>

The idea of “food deserts,” like all leftist ideas and propositions, never stands up to scrutiny. My wife and I live five miles from the nearest grocery store. I guess there’s just no way we can get food. (smirk)
