Interesting article, thanks for the link... definitely gets
the point across about the health issues... but was this
covered on their TV news? Or does this further prove my
point that the best info is to be had by *reading*?

I've never denied that the 'best' info comes from reading. As Fox News doesn't publish a newspaper,
I would guess it was presented as part of their news. There have been several stories on obesity in
the TV news recently.

Almost any of the Gannett fish wrappers are a close substitute for Fox
broadcast news.

I wasn't simply trying to answer your question. If you don't get Fox News, how can you be so
judgmental?

Some bias by the Brits also. The British are expanding their waist lines as
well as a lot of the other EU countries. Maybe it is the KFC, McD's etc, we
have exported, or their kids are sitting around playing xbox's also. Also,
how can we have so many fat kids, when according to the same EU people, we
are starving our poor. There is almost no PE in schools anymore, and
you do not see the kids out in the streets playing ball, or kick the can.
Very little physical exercise.
Also, the definition of obese is a little strange. It is weight to height.
According to the charts, Gov. Arnold is obese.

So am I, and with a 38 waist.

Have you been to Europe lately? They have their share of "plump
people". They do have thin people, the differance, their smokers.
