Reply #57: Although I have nothing against overweight people...

I have to say I am not attracted to them one bit. I really do think a lot of them can control their weight, and for many reasons, they don't. We here in the U.S. have fast food, soda(pop), sodium, and other empty calorie foods to blame for the rise in the obesity population. Christ, I was watching Maury Povitch the other day, and they had a show where three year olds were 97 pounds! The parents whined about that, but they fed the kid every god damn bad food under the sun, such as: McDonald's, cookies, candy, ice cream, pop, etc....and they wondered why the kid was at a weight of one-hundred fucking pounds. :eyes: I think that obesity is a disease and we need to stop it before the life expectancy goes down below 50. A lot of us (including me) need to stop drinking pop, slow down on the fast foods, and exercise every day (or every other day.)

I read a statistic that most of the overweight gain their weight from pop. I think that's the main thing we all need to get rid of from our diet. On the radio the other day, the local news station said that if a person were to cut pop from his/her diet completely, they would lose 35 lbs. in one year. I think after Christmas, I'm gonna cut out pop completely from my diet.
