My point was that obesity is an effective scapegoat. Interesting that the first thing above posters did was hurl unfounded insults at fat people. All fat people!!! Where is the anger against DuPont-Merck who ripped off medicaid??? (Google PR Watch, Dupont and Medicaid fraud for a concise story!) Where is the outrage at the Frist family and HCA??? Here is an undisputable fact, obesity's causes and consequences are DEBATABLE! There is no argument about this, anyone who goes to the scientific journals will see respected professionals in their fields argue on both sides. To the best of my knowledge, FRAUD, THEFT, and MANIPULATION are considered immoral and completely within the control of the individual. Body size is not quite as much a choice as we have been brain washed to believe. I know of NO argument that says crooked politicians and big business have less than free will when taking people for a ride. So why was attacking fat people the FIRST knee jerk reaction!!!!

This is exactly how the witchhunts, McCarthism, and all autrocities man commits against his own start. Corrupt leaders know how to pull strings and turn people against each other for their own benefit. It is those who allow themselves to be manipulated that are the true burden to the rest of us.

Now I am through with this board until my next piece. I will make sure and post it here since you enjoyed the above so much. To all the open minded readers HAPPY SUNDAY!!!

p.s. Americans are NOT lazy, they are among the hardest working group in the world. Western Europe gets about 1 month paid vacation a year and they take it. Interestingly enough, stress and lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain!!!
