Fast Food Weakness

[Belen]

How so? Every conclusion he draws is based on data that he clearly cites, and the book is exhaustively researched with something like ten pages of bibliography. On what information are you basing your opinion? How does one woman's weight loss offset an epidemic of obesity that is reaching crisis proportions?

Because people choose to eat either bad or good food. If I pass up a bowl of veggies for a bowl of ice cream, then it is my fault.

And I am overweight, but I am not going to whine and blame other people for my problem.

Hah....I have spent decades on that collection. I could not part with them.

Kudos for trying though. The funny thing is that the 50 boxes does not include my RPG books. That accounts for an additional 12.

And I wonder how I racked up credit card debt in college. "My name is Dave and I am a ..book-buyer....."

If it were an individual problem, I would agree with you. But one in three US children is overweight! That's a societal problem based upon the American diet, which is high in fat thanks to the amounts of fatty and processed foods we consume. It's such a problem that even Cookie Monster is preaching moderation!

It is not a societal problem. People may want someone to blame, but that is just an easy way to excuse their behavior. Personal responsibility needs to be preached more often rather than giving people an excuse to say..."it's their fault I'm fat."

Yes, there is a societal problem in the US, but it has more to do with a society that has moved away from personal responsibility rather than blame the "fast food industry." The first person anyone should question about a problem should be the one in the mirror.

Actually, I own very few RPG books that do not relate to TSR/WOTC/d20

*big grin* True dat! We *need* more books!

... want to know a sad story? The Universe and I sleep in the tiny bedroom in our apartment so that the master bedroom can be home to the book shelves, miniatures, and other gaming related things. Sometimes, I think that seems backwards... other times, I think that I just need more books to fill up more space so that it would *really* justify the not having the bedroom in the master bedroom.

I think that is a touching story of a gaming couple in love! Not a sad story about space! You have your priorites straight, so what if you have a small bedroom now, someday soon you'll have a giant house with a big bedroom and a HUGE basement to put the library in.

If only that darned fat didn't taste so good! I blame the fat itself!

Well said!

So long as the bedroom is big enough for a bed and the love swing and the monkey bars, what more space do you need?!
