In reply to the discussion: Obesity a threat to food security [View all]RitchieRich
(292 posts)48. of course, I agree with your statement.
My point was that even my crappiest, most thrown together at the last second brown bag lunch doesn't have a bucket of fries or a gallon of soda, or cost $7. That, no matter how you look at it, is far healthier and cheaper.
People constantly talk about gland problems being to blame, when in fact this is not representational of the vast majority of instances. If that were a valid argument, Asia would also have a 75% rate, instead of their 25%.
Stress relief for me usually means going running. If your neighborhood is too unsafe for that, you have a floor and can do basic exercises there. I know this is unrealistic for people who weren't raised with the love and education I was, but like I said, its an issue of education.

The site you posted is a commercial venture. It sells stuff. Hence, spam.

Throwing around the word "education" doesn't make it so. It's a snake oil e-store, nothing more.

Don't hurt me, but didn't Hannity said something similar to that and got clobbered for it?
