What really bothers me is the fact that you'll never see a fat person in a fast food ad. They are all skinny. Yet if you walk into a Mcdonald's typically half the clientele are obese.
That's because the food industry wants to transform the mythical beautiful people into fat people then we can finally have equality!!!!!
I happen to live near a large green public space where I have often walked the two miles circumference as an antidote to a burgeoning waistline. I tend to avoid it at weekends and public holidays because it gets rather crowded, but yesterday I did the walk and was astounded by the number of people in running gear jogging the same route. Some of them may be limbering up for the next London marathon or simply trying to improve their general fitness but it was clear that the large number of overweight joggers were trying to do something about their obesity, so it would appear that more than a few of the 'lazy porkers' have taken the hint and are trying to do something about it. Their efforts are to be applauded by all who periodically take on the task of fighting the flab.
Emil I hope you said 'Good oh' to them as they thundered past...
Well I would have had to say it constantly, given the number joggers, but I do admire those who have decided to fight back against the unsightly accumulation of fat that is such a feature of modern day living.Quote:

Here's another with a couple of salient extracts:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/di...-disaster.html
This week I went to the cinema in Washington DC. The theatre, part of the AMC chain, was selling popcorn and soda “combos” that the counter guy said made financial sense. He handed over a bag of popcorn big enough for an entire children’s party and a 54oz (1.5 litre) bucket of Coke. The Coke was too heavy to carry with one hand – almost the equivalent of five 330ml regular-sized cans.
The “exercise personal choice” and “let the food industry self-regulate” line of thinking demonstrably hasn’t worked. It has taken us to the point where, in less than 20 years, half of all Americans will be obese. And Britain is not as far behind the US as you might think – 25 per cent of women and 24 per cent of men are already in that category.
Did you finish the popcorn? The megabuckets here are ridiculously huge.
