But, I believe the hundreds of studies that remain un-noticed by the media that show genetic factors contribute in a "huge" way to the problem. We as a society wish to place blame on the individual. Overheard at a McDonald's,"Gees, hasn't she ever heard of a salad?" You can bet that "she" has seen more salads and lowfat foods in her lifetime than the normal sized woman making the comment. No, I'm not large my brother and father are. Apparently they don't socialize with me? I think someone is deliberately trying to stir up trouble for the unfortunate obese persons unmong us. I liked the picture to. I may make own, it will say,"NBC, CBS, CNN make you stupid". There is no doubt in my mind that social and environmental factors contribute to obesity.

I'm reflecting on my past relationships and how the lifestyles therein played a part in what kind of shape my body was in. Great post here. Agreed, John.
