A serious health warning...

Obeisity is just nature "thinning" out the heard (pun intended).

I used to be a little overweight but going to the gym 4 days a week, cutting out carbonated beverages, and only having beer occasionally, I've lost 35lbs since January.

Got my tetanus shot last summer; got my thumb caught in one of the greens mowers at work...could have been a lot worse, as I only have a small scar...

chops gave me a good idea for a new thread! We've done the "Let's See What You Look

Like" threads and accompanying photos, most from the shoulders up.

But yes, obesity is a National problem...

Let's just do a "Height/Weight " post for a thread, just to see!

Obviously, the Ladies may not want to participate in this one (With Respect!),

but I'll start it out on a new post. Feel free to join, or abstain...

Chops,

Another problem is poverty. Those that live in poverty are more apt to eat lower quality food, over indulge in alcohol, limited to no health care, tobacco use, live in higher crime ridden communities, drug abuse, amongst other things.

The government does nothing about poverty and it is getting worse. Imagine what could have been done to help those in poverty if that money that was wasted in Iraq could have done for our economy.

Tom,

I don't even want to think (o.k.,I already have!) what that money could have been put to better

use for. I know children in my home town of Hohenwald, TN., that could have been fed well,

for a LONG time on a "millionth of a percentage" of that money spent in Iraq!

Bless all of the children of the world, but I was raised to believe that "Charity Begins

At Home!"

Would you take your neighbor's Wife and Children out to eat at a fancy restaurant, while

your own family was sitting at home starving to death!?!? I think NOT!!!

That seems to me what George Bush and our government is doing for the other nations

of the world, while millions of his own people are starving (some, to death!) in his own

country.

Wait a minute, I have to answer that heavy knocking at my back door!
