Although there is a genetic aspect to obesity that hardly explains the
massive increase in obesity in this country (and in many others also) that
has occurred over the last fifty years. What it comes down to is that people
tend to be eating more and exercising less, issues that are generally
completely under the control of the individual, or, in the case of children,
their parents or guardians.

Just Read "Good Calories Bad Calories" and find this video a good
companion to addressing some of the heath issues in the last 30 years.
It is 1.5 hrs long. I saved it.

With the small difference that the one is not so bad for men's health
whereas the other is both corrosive to the people themselves and the
society at large (no pun intended).

You can't admit that that there is a big genetic factor and in the same
breath talk about how so "completely" something is under the control of
someone.

Howard, are you serious? Get out more, mate and visit a general
hospital, go visit 50 doctors and ask them about their patients...
