This is kinda heavier than I like them, but I'd hit it.

Americans need more exercise, not another tax.
Obesity is a complex issue, and addressing it is important for all Americans. We at the Coca-Cola company are committed to working with government and health organizations to implement effective solutions to address this problem.
But a number of public-health advocates have already come up with what they think is the solution: heavy taxes on some routine foods and beverages that they have decided are high in calories. The taxes, the advocates acknowledge, are intended to limit consumption of targeted foods and help you to accept the diet that they have determined is best.

I could go on, but an obese person's weakness is linked to his appetite. That's why the only 'cures' involve suppressing the appetite through pills, or placing a band on their stomach to make them feel 'full' with very small portions. Remove the appetite issue, and people will loose the weight.

This girl is a real fat-a&& but I might throw her a mercy hit.
For some people, perhaps. Since July I have been walking in the mornings, I’m up to 2 miles (not much but you have to understand how out of shape I was to appreciate it). I am not particularly energized (perhaps that will come) AND I still dont’ sleep well.
I think it’s important to remember that everyone is different and while there are basic principals, not everyone responds the same way. There are many variables.
I will still continue to walk in the morning anyway, because I just like to get it over with. :)
Oh, and I recall a study (but this was years ago, maybe it has been debunked) that said that exercising on an empty stomach actually caused you burn fewer calories, since your body didn’t know if you were going to get fed or not, and you might need to save that fat for later.

#77 was posted to you, but somehow it posted to me.
Sounds familiar (except the quitting smoking part). When I hit my late 40s it seemed that all of my weight maintaining tricks quit working. Not sure exactly how to proceed, but I”m muddling thru, as I refuse to be the FAT grandma!
While this is certainly what we are taught (I have a degree in exercise physiology) it doesn’t appear to be the entire story in practice.
If someone did a little digging I’d be willing to bet that the US consumes more corn syrup than anywhere else in the world. I’d also be willing to bet that it has a lot to due with the rising obesity and diabetes rates in the US.
Follow the money. Corn subsidies for agribusiness, fat sick people dependent on high priced pharmaceuticals, surgery etc..
Coke made for the South American market still uses cane sugar.
Some grocery stores carry it in the import or kosher section.
My Mom did that with my scotch as a kid, it took me years to forgive.

We can get the sugar cane Coke at Costco here in NM. Good stuff.
I believe I inherited my dad’s genes in the metabolism department, and if all goes according to plan, I don’t think I will gain much more weight from here on out, with almost exactly one year to the big Four-Oh-My-God!! :)
They sell the cane sugar Coke and Pepsi here in Montana.
I have wondered about the corn syrup connection myself.
How mean of her!
Oh you are a baby! I turned 52 this year, and I didn’t realize until then that my 40s were my best years! Enjoy them.
There are medical conditions and.... No doubt you are right, but Coke didn’t cause your problem either.
Don't waste your time! Everyone is different. Body types are different. Thyroids operate differently in different people. Metabolisms are different and function differently in different people.
To make a sweeping statement such as you did; a fat person is ALWAYS hungry -- is simply, factually incorrect.
The bottom line:
Another person's weight is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, nor is it the BUSINESS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
