What's your point, Tracer? It's common knowledge that medical issues are a rarity when it comes to blaming weight gain. Check out any on-line medical journal or other publication, or programs such as *Weight Watchers*. Most overweight folks are overweight due to overeating. I'm not discounting that certain medical conditions and medications can increase weight difficulties.
