How many American POWs returned home overweight? Weren't they all extremely thin? How about it, dsc; would you lose weight at the Hanoi Hilton?

How many fat quadriplegics have you seen? Weight loss results are often astounding when you can't sneak extra calories.

I could put away the food with no problems up until the age of forty. I think the biggest problem is, due to wear and tear, I can't really exercise as intensly as I had in the past.

“How about it, dsc; would you lose weight at the Hanoi Hilton?”

Is it your assertion that a person should have to reduce intake to Hanoi Hilton levels to maintain a normal weight? Surely not.

I am not saying that a person cannot starve to death. I am saying that it is *not*normal* when a person must both reduce intake to a preposterous level *and* exercise like an elite athlete to avoid obesity.

I am saying that those conditions indicate that there are other factors at work.
