I like me a woman with some curves; not one who looks like a sick little boy. <BR/><BR/>I think the bigger issue is this: who is responsible for obesity? Is it the government's job to ban trans fats? Is it McDonald's responsibility to refuse visibly unhealthy customers? Is it the school's fault, for not teaching children about proper nutrition? Is it the parent's fault for expecting school to teach this? Is it the corporation's fault, for selling food known to be garbage, and attempting to suppress the long-term health consequences? Is it big pharma's fault, for profiting from countless medications used to treat preventable illness?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe, just maybe, the world is a twisted place, and the individual must take responsibility for themselves.zaphodhttp://zaphodforpresident.comnoreply@blogger.com
