this is all because Oprah bought Weight Watchers and wants to make a psychological organization and not a health and fitness organization;

A physician told me that the ICUs usually have more than their share of morbidly obese patients. Go to Wal-Mart and look at who are in scooters buying junk food.

While I rarely agree with Maher, on this subject, he is 100% correct.

I was laughing my head off until he got to the dick part. Then I started to cry.

2:28 PM Prepare for the drugs, upbringing, & not my fault replies.

I'm referring to the The Commish Speaks on Veggie Burger Law tread.

Look at old photos from the 1800s through the 1950s. You won't see morbidly black or white folk (no Patels or El Domingos either). No four hundred pounders buying Little Debbie's from Wall-Mark scooters.

Yes!!! Someone finally said out loud what a lot of us (who eat healthy food and exercise daily) think when we grocery shop or, ehhh, go anywhere today...and, while we're at it...I resent having to pay the medical bills for the "600-pound-lifers" walking/scooting around in the world. AND, we (taxpayers) are footing the bill (EBT, etc.) for those carts full of junk food and soft drinks...the insanity of it all.

A good start would be exercising some discipline, for heaven's (and their own) sake. Google "Oprah's 2020 Vision Tour with WW." (Remember, she owns about 8% of WW shares.) Oh yeah, when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their branding to KFC...little did we know that was the beginning of this "soft on fat" ideology.

Correct, @6:36...let's get ready for snippets from the "Excuses for My Obesity: A Guide to Loving Every Inch of Me" playbook...but, right now, it's time to hit the gym.

There is a correlation between HFCS and obesity. A study from 2004 notices the trend (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/79/4/537/4690128). And a study in 2010 highlights characteristics of obesity in lab rats (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3522469/).

However it is still controversial to link HFCS as the cause of obesity (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3679479/), though I do suspect it at lesat plays a part (opinion). I think a lot of the problem is that we as a society have become even more sedentary in the past 30 to 40 years.

Wonder if this new change will be reflected in the appropriation bills next session?

A stupid man. Looks at 1969 photo, and says, why, folks are "healthy," "they are thin." Bill, 45% of Americans were smoking then. That would be 1.5 million dead a year from that alone, even with today's advanced medicine, at a similar rate of cancer today, with our population. Compare that to 300,000 from obesity. That's right, 1,000,000 more dead from smoking, but we helped that, to a degree, over a long period of time.

Car deaths 1969? Twice the rate. SMH. And, of course, it's hilarious that he was driving drunk, right? 60% of traffic deaths back then were from booze. To his credit, he acknowledges his alcohol addiction, but food addicts are irresponsible. The same old hypocrite he always is.

And, Bill, there weren't any of those disgusting disabled in the pic either right? Cuz they couldn't get there or died early.

The master of the obvious struggling for relevance, and selling "The Good Ole Days" myths. While advocating for 55,000,000 abortions, legalized dope, and paper straws. Stupid people, clapping for a clown.

I resent having to pay SSI for drunks and dopers, but all we saw yesterday was beer ads and drunks watching idiots slam heads together. Stupid people.

What is the date for the recipe to be posted for Kingfish's favorite alcohol concoction? I sure don't want to miss it.
