it is true that adults should be allowed to be obese.

While I agree, I'd don't think many would choose to be so. Most aren't actually happy with being overweight, they are simply resigned to being overweight, because their repeated attempts to lose weight have failed.

What they don't understand is that the reason they've failed is not because they are slothful and gluttonous, but because the the low-fat, low-calorie advice that our public health officials have been pushing for the last 40 years is demonstrably wrong.

Oh, you are preaching to the choir. I was tongue in cheek, really.

People always complain about the taxpayers’ health costs from obesity (and they are not wrong), but the same folks scream for MORE MONEY FOR AIDS and other problems which can come from indiscriminate gay sex. I just wanted to make a little point about their hypocrisy. Gay is good, fat is bad.

And yes, indeed, the government going along with the carby food pyramid and the low fat craze definitely did it.

Honest food that tastes good, very little of it processed, and good, healthy fats will keep people satisfied, their brains fed, and enhance the nutrient absorption from the rest of their food!
