Re: Only the people with the data

<OK, Tom, take the same group and ask them how many calories an adult should have to maintain a healthy body weight.

Silence.

So you tell them.



Big deal. I didn't know that either. I still knew you could get fat from eating junk food. Order the Chef's Salad, and hold the dressing. How many brains does that take?

A little perspective:

In most other countries on this planet, people in their circumstances would be dying or dead.

If you went to the Third World and told the poor there (the ones who were alive) that one of the biggest problems American poor people had was getting too fat, they'd probably leap on you and tear your throat out with their teeth.

By the way, the secret of the fish sandwich is to have them leave off the sauce and cheese. Not too surprisingly, it doesn't taste like much without it.
