I could've told people this years ago.

Its common sense.

[KidGlock]

Really none of the government's business.

Except for the fact that half of all Americans get their health care from the government.

you lower your fat, your carbs

The first step in acknowledging the Atkins' revolution. The old food pyramid was built on carbohydrates.

[TheBigB]

To lose weight, eat less and exercise more.

I WANT AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION OF HOW MUCH OF OUR TIME AND MONEY WAS WASTED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT A NEWBORN RETARDED MONKEY KNOWS!!!!

That's posted right next to "You are here"

Wow. I used to think that eating more and exercising not at all was the answer. Guess I can stop doing that, now.

[rockabyebaby]

DUH!!!!

[theDentist]

Yeah, Tommy, but when the various medical groups keep putting out standards for weight that define starving men in Ethiopia as obese, we stop listening to them.

[rockabyebaby]

DUH!!!

[hershey]

Another person of my acquaintance died of complications after a stomach stapling operation. The medical community halted that procedure here in MA for a time, but reinstated it. Since obesity is a growing problem (no pun intended), and since people of low means cannot afford the best of diets, there is a market for a pill (moderately priced), that would satisfy dietary requirements, etc.. I expect to see infomercials touting this in a matter of months. Somebody's going to make a mint.

[Semper Paratus]

Damn, I had it backwards!

[MineralMan]

Oh, gosh! Really? I wonder how much this boondoggle cost us.

[hushpad]

In the future, I picture all Americans, dressed in matching speedos, up at 6:00 am, standing in straight narrow lines before the local magistrate, doing their exercises like good little socialists?

The Chinese aint got nothin on us now, do they? /sarcasm

[Huck]

I wonder if this will end up in the what do we do without experts section of Best of the Web.

[dljordan]

I get all warm and fuzzy thinking about how much our government cares for us. I love being in the big Federal Family. :)
