Genetics do play a role, but so does that processed
fried chicken, jelly donut...and lets not forget Americas
all favorite BACON. At the end of the day, people
need to learn to take the blame and stop with
the exscuses.

What is interesting is the likes of Billy, who appear to argue that it
is not peoples fault that they are obese, but rather in Billy's
postinsg has randomly blamed genetics, corporate marketing propgrams,
or the nned to pay the mortgage for obesity. Rather than "you eat too
much and dont do any excercise"



No one is forcing a donut down their throat, no one is
forcing them to go home and sit in front of TV, than hit the bed and
repeat it again the next day and day after and so on.

Indeed. But laziness in people, perhaps combined with a lack of self-
awareness and an amazing abilty to deny their growing waist, does lead
them to this path.
They'll whine about "its normal to put on a few pounds for winter" or
"its normal to gain a pound a year" and ignore the concequences of
these delusions.



Also, 2 1/2hrs of exercise a week? This one is tricky, if you mean a
heavy work out after which your heart rate is up and you are at least
somewhat soaking in sweat I'd agree....walking or stretching, useless
and pointless (IF only 2 1/2hrs a week). If you prefer stretching and
walking aka lazy peoples exercise. Than at least stretch in the
morning *Every Morning* and walk for 30 - 60 minutes every day.
Also, eating a whole pie of Pizza w/ "DIET" Coke is NOT the way to go.

In reading these commenst of yours, I am reminded of the distorted
views that some people have of excercise. The human body was
'designed'[1] to move, and people suggesting that a few hours of
walking a week demonstrated just how inactive their bodies (and
minds?) have become. Stretching and walking are not some sort of goal
to work towards, they are normality!



People need to take responsibility and take action, yeah it is hard to
lose weight for some people and others it's hard to gain but through
diligence and lifestyle change, they can and will achieve whatever
goals they set for themselves.

Indeed, the fat-accepters seem to belive that because some things are
hard, they should not even try. Because some people (say 0.2% of the
population) have medical conditions (eg kidney issues), all the
fatties wail that therefore they cant loose any weight (and console
themselves by up-sizing their Triple-Cheese-Burger when next at the
drive-through.)
