>>I don’t want to live until someone has to feed me, so I’m going to balloon to 300 lbs. Good luck with that. Hopefully Darwin will work his magic before you reproduce.<<
Who ever said ballooning to 300 pounds? You, not me.
And what a smarmy response! Maybe you’re crabby because you need a cookie.
But I don’t want to live to be 100 and be a puddle in a bed.
I’ve gained a few pounds since my anorexic days. If that skims 10 years off my life, I don’t care at all.
We have Alzheimer’s in my family. I’d rather not be a skinny 90 year old in diapers that my kids have to take care of.
You may chose differently. That’s cool. It’s America and we are allowed to do that, so far.
Sorry, that was a little crabby - it certainly reads more "crabby" than I intended. Plus, I wasn't necessarily saying you and in you, just "you" as in everyone.
But, I'll reiterate my point. We are an obese nation that is bordering on a morbidly obese nation. And, while I don't support governments regulating my diet - as we see with initiatives in NYC and Chicago - I think it's entirely appropriate for this First Lady, or any First Lady to have a "pet project". If Michelle Obama wants to tack the obesity epidemic, especially the epidemic that is ravaging black America, I say - You go girl.
Fat people are expensive, and they exponentially increase the overall costs of health care - those are costs that are born by everyone in the country. People with access to the Bully Pulpit are right to speak out on America's fatness.
