- I get the impression that you think that it is right and reasonable to indulge yourself to the point of serious illness that results in millions of dollars being spent on medical care.
Medical procedures that try to correct the results of personal neglect.
Why would you seek to change the subject and discuss immigration when the article is about health? Why don't you seek out an article on immigration an express your opinion there? - Reply to this comment
- Are you an idiot?
This is a puff piece?
The single biggest cause of death in this country is heart disease which is caused almost exclusively by OBESITY; Overeating and lack of exercise.
AND IT COSTS EVERYONE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Only a republican would think that personal health is a silly matter.
Stunning stupidity. - Reply to this comment
- I flew to LA last week and had a 400 pound herford next to me who spent the whole flight with about a quarter of her lard spilling over into the seat that I paid for.....

- What causes obsesity in 97% of people is caloric intake period.
Statistically, 3% of the obese suffer from hyper-thyroid although about 75% of the obese appear to claim to sufferf rom same.
Corn syrup is not the villian.
Their own gluttony is. - Reply to this comment

It amazes me that gluttony is more powerful than health risks and pride in personal appearance in so many. - Reply to this comment
- CBS : Another puff piece distracting from real issues: How our country is becoming SOCIALISTIC. The take over of the medicine, banks, general motors, a stimulus bill that went flat, rising unemeployments, a lack of will, withdrawal from IRAQ, confrontation with NUCLEAR NOth Korea, IRAN going NUCLEAR, a poor lack of outrage and lack of support for freedom fighting women in IRAN, and........you give us this ? and some stupid sex story ?? This is the CHICKAFICATION OF THE NEWS

- think: This is a stupid puff piece. reasons. 1. as noted, there are really big life changing stories out there, that are essentially ignored. 2. This story is old, and does not address the real cause of American Obesity: CORN STARCH put in all our foods, ( including Salmon !) by BIG BUSINESS, which is in bed with BIG MEDIA, which I believe CBS is part of. When CBS attacks the big corn industry for putting all that corn starch and MSG into our foods, that would big a story. THIS IS A PUFF PIECE, get it !
- "How our country is becoming SOCIALISTIC"
How incredibly idiotic that you bring up socialism, as if it's something that only Obama is doing. Newsflash, Einstein - programs like Medicare and Social Security, which have been around many, many years, ARE Socialism.
But I'm sure you will be refusing both when you turn 65 since you are so against it.

- People in the deep south drink more coke, pepsi and mt. dew than anywhere else in the country. For the last 30 years these beverages have substituted sugar with High Fructose Corn Syrup - which is known to cause obesity and diabetes.
This is one more failure of the FDA. The farm states have too much political clout for the FDA to stop this dangerous substance made from corn going into food and soft drinks. - Reply to this comment

- By avoiding all Genetically Modified Foods [and products such as High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Oil, Corn Starch, Maltodextrin], and by avoiding aspartame and MSG, I am no longer A diabetic and my health has improved.
Many GM Foods contain the Bt-toxin that is not only toxic to insects, but also to mice, dogs, sheep, goats, cattle and me. Unlike real sugar [sucrose], high fructose corn syrup is addictive, creating a strong desire for more.
Left in a hot car, a diet soda can end up with wood alcohol & formaldehyde from the break down of the aspartame. [possible cause of Gulf War Syndrome] Both are neurotoxins that cause a loss of cognitive ability.

- folks in Southern States:
Put chocolate gravy on their biscuits for breakfast.
Consider Little Debbie products a food group.
Make Sweet Tea with so much sugar that they have to boil it to disolve it all. - Reply to this comment
