I think I like this title a little better. Not quite as uncouth as the prior thread.
All I am going to say is that our culture has bred a monster because of the enormous portions and lack of portion control, TV watching and seeing ads for snacks, and a sedentary lifestyle.
I am not that overweight but I don't want to increase my chances of getting something like, say, diabetes, so I have taken up cycling.
Not everyone can just go out and get a decent bike, of course, walking is free for everyone, if you make sure you find the time. There are people who don't care but plenty more who are sorry for how they let themselves get out of shape.
I used to be underweight when I was younger and and my metabolism hadn't fallen by 2% each year, without making adjustments for that....in fact, making things worse.
The government's food pyramid is also pretty screwed up.
anyway, happy bicycling
