      <![CDATA[Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on Dr. Morris' claim that "Obesity is a complicated factor that is partly genetic and partly about our environment." The obesity trend data from the CDC and other sources is crystal clear - the nearly asymptotic explosion in this nation's obesity rates started in the mid-1970s.

      <![CDATA[Having been on both ends of the spectrum, from very thin to very fat I am keenly aware of how difficult it is in making the proper dietary choices consistently. Weight control is more difficult without proper nutritional and lifestyle commitment.
