Obesity

Added: Jun 5th, 2008
Is costing us about $90 billion a year in extra medical costs. It is also affecting our culture. It creates loss of esteem, and less inclination to socialize. These are enormous costs far beyond monetary. We are becoming a nation of shut-ins, with little social desire. Instead we watch TV and it scares us so much that we don’t want to socialize with our fellows. And even more TV makes us less inclined to be with our peers. And round it goes….There are several books out which suggest that High Fructose Corn Syrup as found in our soft drinks, makes it very hard to lose weight. Also, corn-fed beef has the same purported inclination. If you are overweight, and dieting doesn’t help, try kicking sodas and fatty meats for awhile. Keep at it, we all want you healthy, and socializing with us.
