Obesity

[Sadsack]

So I have CNN on right now, and there is a big piece on it about how trans fats and sugar or high fructose corn syrup have been added to so many prepared food, while the fiber has been removed (e.g., white bread and lots of other "refined" foods).
These foods are adding huge amounts of calories to the average diet, and spiking blood sugar levels leading to near epidemic rates of Type II Diabetes and obesity.
OK. Not news to anyone, is it?
At the same time I am reading some of the posts on Lymebusters, and see this post by Neils Mayer:

"ABX are an underrated weight-loss tool. Obesity doesn't just happen,
it's always caused by something, usually an infection. "

YEAH - AN INFECTION OF ICE CREAM AND CAKE, for pete's sake!!!

The Fructose syrup has several different names and I find it hard to find anything without it .
I think it is what is causing the obesity too.Years ago there would be one overweight kid in school and now half the school is obese.
Gets the numbers down I suppose .

Not the numbers on the scale, though! LOL!!!
