The Daily Campus

An Honest-To-Goodness Obesity Solution

Abstract:
If you have not seen or heard of Dateline's never-ending special "To Catch a Predator," then you have somehow managed to seclude yourself from America's mainstream press and I envy you like a jealous neighbor. I have not been able to avoid it. My mom watches it with the earnestness of a football coach studying game film and she got me to sit down for a viewing....

Is this supposed to be sarcastic or is it the typical trash being published in the daily campus?

Yes, this is sarcasm. Quite good too.

I'm sure you think yourself terribly clever and probably got a big laugh from your frat boy friends. Consider doing a little research.

The "obesity epidemic" is largely dribble. Same goes for the "health issues" that stem from being "morbidly obese." The pharmaceutical potential for obesity drugs is enormous, and the dieting industry is one that earns about $50 BILLION a year.

Diets are designed to fail, the drugs are designed to require constant use. Doctors push weight loss surgery because they get incentives from their buddies who do the surgeries. It's a sick and twisted world, and it's full of lies and propaganda.

You can be thin and be JUST AS UNHEALTHY as a fat person. You can be thin and be even MORE unhealthy. Lifestyle is the issue, not waist size.

But I am wasting my time on someone who doesn't really care, and who just wanted to be cruel and funny at the expense of overweight people all over. Your parents must be really proud.

If this is an example of your rapier wit, I would say it needs some serious honing. I don't find anything humorous about eating disorders or the obesity epi-panic hysteria.
