We live an country that is proven to be well on the way to becoming rapidly morbidly obese. They do go on about the miracle 'cure' of the stomach band or stapling but in reality the most effective method (area) to be stapled should be the lips with enough space left for a thick straw.
Fact is that a very tiny, tiny number do actually have a real glandular problem. The remainder must surely then be afflicted with nothing more than simple greed.
Fast food, comfort food are but feeble and lame excuses when the blame lies directly on the individual who is overweight by more than a little. It is easy to adopt a sensible healthy diet and that has been proven time a again to be no more expensive than the fast, comfort food route. That being true it leaves only laziness as the most probable cause for the obese outbreak that will inevitably lead to greatly reduced lifespans of those who indulge themselves.
