I feel the same way whenever I'm out in public.  It's very, very sad.  And
then I watch the news and hear all the talk about how obese Americans are
and how a low fat, high carbohydrate diet will solve all our problems.
Boy, the medical community is really doing a number on us!

Fat and meat consumption is at an all-time low and obesity is at an
all-time high .... hmmm...it amazes me that intelligent people can't see
that there's a causal connection, or at least wonder if there's one.
