*burp*
In the meantime, here's one way to VOLUNTARILY end the battle of the bulge:
I've lost 18 pounds so far.
Nanny State PING!

Is personal responsibility now obsolete?
Are the overweight people tied down and force-fed?
The government forced the food pyramid onto the US and look what it got us. Low-fat diets were the nail in the coffin. Look into the shopping cart of obese people... lots of “low-fat” crackers, cookies, etc.
No one needs 6 to 11 servings of grains per day in addition to 7 servings of vegetables and fruits. That is far too many carbs; the American lifestyle does not allow our bodies to metabolize that much carbohydrate in a day.
In Feb.of 2011 I started eating a diet that contained half as many recommended carbs per day and increased my protein intake by about 2 oz. I have lost 60 pounds, and I am still eating a balanced diet that includes wheat.
People have a natural tendency to want to feel good. Eating is a feel good thing.
It’s Un-American to have constant pressure, anxiety, upon us every waking moment of ones life by government fiat.
People eat to excess to feel good, feel better about themselves, feel good to combat the pressure, the anxiety they feel constantly either physically, or mentally that is caused subtly, or not by government.
American citizens don’t even realize they are gaining weight as time goes by, and don’t realize they are doing so as they are under pressures NOT of their own making, but pressures they don’t want put upon them by government nanny staters.
Home, on the job, commuting, every activity is governed, and overgoverned, and folks are anxious. When folks are under pressure, anxious they look for release. They eat. They get fat.
Kids were never fat until the schools started over-feeding them. Ummmmm...pink slime!!
Oddly enough, there are some interesting scientific discoveries out there. Several possible “fat reductions in a pill” chemicals, along with “cleansers” of a sort to eliminate much of the toxic chemicals stored in fat, and perhaps oddest of all, a chemical that improves muscle tone.
While these are all “on the drawing board”, it presents a big opportunity to have some fun at the expense of the gullible nanny-types.
I call it “The Republican Pill”.
You can eat and drink as much as you want of *any* kind of food you want, while remaining slender and improving your muscle tone. With NO side effects.
The idea is to annoy the heck out of these annoying people.
People will no longer need to diet, eat insufficient amounts of bad tasting health food, or exercise, and yet they will be fit and trim and strong.
So go ahead, have that thick beef steak, slathered in butter, mushrooms and onions, with a big pile of salty french fries on the side, and top it off with a triple fudge sundae, with ice cream made from real cream.
And then take a pill. Just one, “Republican Pill”, and feel and look great.
Even the hypothetical existence of such a pill would drive them nuts. Nothing quite like pleasure without pain to make such people seethe.
Why would people be fatter now, than in 1960? Hmmmm.
How about jobs and free time spent on computers, games and in front of the TV, the effect of an aging population (Baby Boomers)on the data, and the easy access to prepared food.
I don’t think it’s a mystery. Nor, a terrible thing either.
I’m 5‘9” and 160/165 lbs.
That’s 30 lbs heavier than I was at 18 but I don’t think I’m fat.
The biggest, fattest slobs I’ve seen recently are SEIU union pigs, ATF oinkers and welfare mommas.
What do they all have in common? The federal fascist pig government!
Check out the hidden reason that so many are too fat:
MSG, it’s in almost everything, and OBESITY:

Funny, when I go to the gym, karate practice, or take a bike ride, one of which I do every day, and when I cart my kids to baseball, lacrosse, scouts, karate, etc, etc - I don’t notice very many obese people.
It’s almost like there is some kind of linkage between regular physical activity and fitness.
I thought that the average for men was 5’10 and the average for women was 5’4” back in 1970.
Join the Reboot, people! I juiced fruits and vegetables for 60 days and lost 55 lbs. Just finished a week of fruits and vegetables and am now eating chicken or turkey. I cook with fresh ingredients and stay away from breads and heavy white starches.
So far, the weight has stayed off and my family is eating as healthy as ever. After my doc appt. and lab work next week I hope to start another 60 day Reboot. Obesity is most often a choice just as eating healthy is a choice.
