I have not yet had the chance to give this site my full scrutiny.

What do you, the audience at home, think? =o How do you assess it's statistical soundness? Do its arguments seem well-reasoned or flawed?

Well from what I undertand terrorism was broght into this country by the governement,( fuel and the bush's ) so, going with that as an opener, I think the reason why more people are over weight is not because we are unhealthy, but more on the fact that what they put in processed foods are horrible for you. But there's certain things that are also just looked over, or not even looked into. There are millions of food products made each year, and not all companies even have regular visits from food/plant inspectors. I don't know wether it's because the gov. thinks it's just not important enough, or if they think they just don't have the funds.. ( But strangely enough we can stay In Iraq, and surrounding countries for as long as we like )

That's why it has come to my conclusion, that most food companies just don't care, as long as you buy their products.

I think that in some ways it is and some just made me laugh because of how stupid it was. Like obesity is more lethal then terrorism? wtf is that about? XD made me giggle a bit. As for the positive info in it I agree with. actually if's been proven that people who are lager in weight have healthier hearts for the majority because their heart has to work harder, via giving it more excercise then that of a thinner person. ^_^

The main cause for diabetics I believe are from all the chemicals they put into fast foods, & after eating a life time of the garbage, your body says.
"ok, I'm done." and forces you to eat the correct way, if that makes any sense. Also I can't really prove it that easily, but they also put other garbage in veccines, and I think that also has something to do with it. Who the hell thought putting murcury in them was a good ideah? That's the only other thing I can think of as to why children have it. That type of thing for me is hard to believe that it's genetic. we would have haerd tales from olden times about people having the same type of disease.

Well, we wouldn't hear about it in olden times, because people where busy getting demonically "possessed" (IE suffering from other diseases and mental illnessess or behavioral differences), and dying of the plague and minor infections. I don't think you notice things like diabetic shock or food allergies when you're busy praying to Saint Cuthbert so that the little cut you got from a slipped trowel doesn't turn into a fatal infection.
