Where are you on the global fat scale?

[Lady's Human]

As for others, lack of exercise and poor dietary habits. (and this crazy overdone American individualism - don't tell me what to do!) Prepared foods are marketed heavily in the USA. And the medical establishment does not explain why we need to exercise or restrict sugars. If there was openness about what sugar does to you, people would avoid it. Schools offer very little Phys Ed any more.

And if you have been paying attention to the USA political environment, you would understand why it is difficult to get any legislation passed concerning the food industry.

Which schools are you referring to? I keep hearing about this, yet the kids come home tired from Gym, recess, etc constantly. They have more PE than I had while I was in school...the good old days aint. The school lunch menu is far better than it ever was while I was a child, so that one isn't going to fly as a "systemic problem" either.

As to the legislative side, does there NEED to be legislation in that regard? Use your head. All things in moderation. Even when money's tight we somehow manage to put balanced meals on the table.

It takes desire to take care of yourself, and no amount of political pandering can create that.

As to my weight? I hover around 200 pounds, give or take depending on what time of the year it is,I'm under 6', and can still do enough pushups to pass the army physical fitness test. They can take their BMI scale and....well.......
