obesity: weight of the nation

Right, it's another casualty of the two-parent working household. Not an excuse, certainly, but it tends to happen with a lot of families.

Theater,yes and also the drive-in was good Ahhhh,how I remember those warm nights going to the drive in,under the pretext of seeing a movie and playing Tonsil Hockey and Stink Finger with some young lady instead they were good times .

And that's MR old Bugger to you

There is still a drive-in here. I LOVE IT! I get to share the drive-in experience with my kids as my parents did with my sister and I.

Pack the kids up in their PJ's, pillows and blankets, pack our snacks and drinks and enjoy a movie together, outdoors.

I hated it when my parents made us do that ya gotta pee and you have to walk past everyone in ya PJ's how embarrassing it is.

Awwe. I loved that. As a kid, I was thinking "I'm in my PJ's while I'm outdoors at night!!" All the better if we had on our 'footie pj's'...no shoes!

i think laziness and lack of activity is only part of the problem, i think majority of the issue is hormones on our foods and that most if not all processed foods have some form of added sugar in them.

Good for us food that which is not processed and does not have added sugars is expensive and in some areas not available, especially in parts of the US. In Canada its cheaper to buy a fast food meal then it is to buy a proper meal and cook it yourself from the shops.

But as i said, they are proving now how the additives and hormones that are now in our foods and water has changed our DNA and one of those side effects is the fat arse syndrome.

Government, stay the hell outta my kitchen, my bedroom and leave my guns alone. I helped hire you. I can help fire you.

You were lucky,we had to have our dressing gown and slippers on,thank Christ I never had a Teddy Bear .

That would make a good Sig Hoppy .

Yeah, it might at that.
