I could go on and on, but I'll just end up saying something inpolite and politically incorrect, so I'll just stop there.

i completely agree. i graduated with a Sociology degree and i spent most of my major studying obesity and doing research on it. it starts with parents.....normally it's a cycle. the parent is obese and is an emotional eater and it slowly is passed down to the child. i live in the south where obesity is very prevalent. it's amazing walking through the mall seeing all the little kids running around with guts.
