Speaker: Are there opportunities within…, in reply to Russell Brown,
It’s very difficult to lose weight through exercise alone.
Your sentence is three words too long. :)
Also, thanks, Ben: that clarified things and now I am driven slightly less nuts. By your post, anyway. ;)

Yes, they’re alternatives, and and no, they probably won’t have any really effect either. Not on obesity, that is, although all of them would lead to improved quality of life for a lot of people.
Most of your post drives me nuts because it assumes that if you're obese you can't, by definition, be fit or healthy. That's bullshit. It also assumes that ALL obese people are fat because they eat a lot. That's also bullshit. And the third bullshit thing is that everyone seems to think that it's perfectly possible to become thin, long-term, when most studies show that long-term thinness through dieting is as rare as hen's teeth AND, moreover, yo-yo dieting actually has WORSE effects on your cardiovascular health than, y'know, not dieting and going for regular fucking walks. (I'm not talking out of my ass, either: if you would like peer-reviewed journal cites, I can hunt them out.) So the ideas in Megan's post would improve the *health* of people, and make them *happier*, but they might still be fat. SO WHAT?
I'll be apologising to Katharine as soon as I become a big prog rock fan, btw.

I'm not sure where her stop is, but I sure wish we'd get there soon.

Let me then appeal to you on behalf of your children.
She doesn't have any children, so I don't think that's going to work. :D

I think it was my fault. It usually is.

Oh, and you have to eat your toast with a knife and fork too. That way you won’t end up on dialysis.
What about the green jelly? Isn't that basically just sugar? WHAT IF I GET ON THE DIALYSIS??

Isn’t Katharine just sharing her opinions and experience
Katharine is doling out parenting and nutritional advice like it's going out of style. I don't remember seeing anyone ask for it.

No, cut out the sarcasm, this is a serious subject
You don't say!
I think what is peeving the shit out of me here is that we apparently have to lay bare our souls and lives for you to accept that we might know something about this and to stop giving out unsolicited advice like you're the fucking oracle. I don't need to tell you my life story for my argument to have validity.

What do you want me to do here? Genuflect before your obvious superiority?

Oh, this is hilarious! What a fucking grim Friday night dinner that would be. "Here, everyone, let's huddle around this warm and satisfying tin of sardines!"
