I can't afford the trip, and due to circulation problems, I doubt I

I agree, obesity can have other causes and I certainly do not want to
scold anyone with that condition. But the reality is that the vast
majority is habit-caused. Every obese person I know out here has a habit
of eating large quantities of not-so-healthy food at an astounding speed
or run around with 64oz "big gulp" coke bekers. Nah, not the diet coke,
of course, but the real stuff. They drive everywhere, never take a walk
and hang in front of the TV most of the time (eating). That's the habits
that make most of us sick.


I was drinking Diet Mountain Dew as soon as it hit the market, almost
20 years ago. I have cooked almost all of my meals since 1974. Low fat
meats, lots of vegetables and some fresh fruit. I can't remember the
last time I bought any butter or margarine. A box of salt lasts so long
it hardens up, about 90% full. Its used when cooking pasta, then most
of it goes down the drain. I have gone years without any candy, and I
don't think I've had any sugar in the house since the 70s.
