I don’t have an agenda, I just think there is a lot of scare mongering over the obesity epidemic and I am tired of the thought control police and the nanny state using it as an excuse to try to control the markets and our behavior.

Well, I guess that’s an agenda.

So you’re saying the actually statistics about an average 9 pound weight gain and an aging population don’t count because your personal observances are different?

It is not just my observances. Read every thread about eating or being overweight. Most everyone tells the same story. Apparently your world is a mighty small place and you don't get out much if you've not seen the masses of obese people.

Would you like me to take some photos the next time I go to the store? I'd be happy to post a few.

I don't want the nanny state or anybody else telling me how to live or what to eat. That doesn't render me literally blind to the society that I see every time I venture out.
