I cant see how people can drink pop everyday and go eat fast food all the time, Its really not that hard to just make your own meals, everyone I used to work with would eat out and I would always bring my own lunch(I was the healthiest one there besides my cousin who is a fitness freak) I haven’t had pop in over 4 years now and haven’t been to a fast food place in as long as I can remember, I think it is really just based on how you are brought up my mom was in aerobics and my dad was always about working out. ---

Obesity is about as contagious as alcoholism and drug addiction. You try the shit your friends are doing. If you consider obesity a shitty food addiction, then the only real conclusion is that you try the shit your friends are doing, and that makes it easier to get addicted to it. ---

X2 I think most are right, we as Americans overeat, spend too much time in front of a computer, too little time in the outdoors, ect. But I can also say, that as a fat guy looking for a way out, I really dont eat as much as any one in my family, my 13 year old included. I hunt, on foot, not a quad like many now a days. I split wood by hand, no powered log spliters here. I walk over a mile every day at work. And yet I’m still fat.:crying: So I have taken the easy way out. Or at least that is what most people call it. I got the bypass done last week. I can tell you first hand, it’s anything but easy. But then thats just my opinion. ---
