Steve, during the Great Depression, newspapers had advertisements saying "buy this herb to gain weight." Just the opposite of today. Money was tight back then so people were starving, gaining weight made a person look prosperous. RE: "I'm in worse shape than most of them..." That's because you crawl around on roof tops according to your earlier post about the hospital, which was a good post. Regards, Amy J

Obesity will reverse life expectancy gains "obesity likely will shorten the average life span of 77.6 years by at least two to five years...that could even inadvertently help "save" Social Security" Steve, fat should be recognized as an illness - some people that are fat have a metabolism issue, something with the thyroid. I know someone that would gain weight if he ate more than 750 calories per day, he had something wrong with his metabolism that required medical attention. Regards, Amy J
