British researchers have found that people with a variation of something called the FTO gene have a greater chance of becoming obese.
But is this truly an explanation for the obesity epidemic?
Or is everyone just looking for an excuse to shift the blame from our poor eating and exercise habits?
You gotta love the government’s strategy to help us “eat healthy.”
City after city in the U.S. has banned trans fats like they’re trying to protect us. Of course, they neglect to tell us that trans fats are being replaced mostly by a type of fat that could be even worse.
But I’ve already blogged about that in Ban Trans Fats, Increase Diabetes?
Clogging your arteries is so yesterday.
No, today I’d like to talk about the dunderheads who decided it was healthy to put arsenic in our food.
Okay, I finally got past the 1/2-pound mark and the scale went down 1 pound.
3 pounds to go, which is a good feeling going into summer.
How’d you do this week?

I saw this on Boing Boing.

Sorry to hear it. But that’s no reason to delay your diet. Now, maybe if the squirrel was rabid…
I’ll make this quick because a thunderstorm is starting and I don’t want to fry my computer.
I can’t get the same weight twice in a row on my digital scale this morning. One time, it says I lost a pound. The next time, it says I’m the same as last week.
I think I’m right at the half-pound mark and the scale doesn’t know whether to round up or round down.
What a dumb scale! You always round down.
But just to be conservative, I’ll say I stayed the same this week. Still 4 pounds to go.
How’d you do?

A lot of overeating is about avoidance, escape, or just plain habit.
Do you automatically open the fridge when you have a bad day? Or mindlessly munch potato chips while you watch TV?
It could also kill you. Or just make you very sick. But it’s children who usually die.
So why don’t the experts issue a public warning about this danger?
