I think I'll sacrifice the four pounds and sit on my ass for six months while the other group is working out.10/28/2010 11:36:11 AM |

I'm sure the physical activity was on the scale of "clap your hands for 5 minutes" or "walk down the hallway and back" 10/28/2010 12:22:37 PM |

looks like the conclusion should be that exercise isn't that beneficial when it comes to losing weight.10/28/2010 12:29:20 PM |

True. They should have done some sort of cardiovascular testing for the obese that exercised and and those who didn't.10/28/2010 12:46:12 PM |

people get psychotic over trying to lose 20 pounds. if you've never lost 80 pounds or more you haven't the foggiest how much more challenging it is. Quit showing your ignorance by saying it is easy to accomplish and it "isn't ok" for people to exist without harming others. 10/28/2010 1:42:28 PM |

Some would say it is more challenging to not put on the 80lbs to begin with....

It probably is in this day and age. Especially for all of the obese children out there who don't have nutritionists for parents and who get indoctrinated to beg for pizza, mcdonalds and ice cream on a daily basis by the food industry. The schools get bullied into letting them sell that crap in the cafeteria since they have so little budget to do anything, so the children get fat before they understand it or have a chance to prevent it. Should they just die already? 10/28/2010 2:16:35 PM |

Fat kids are funny, but fat people older than 15 should die a slow painful death 10/28/2010 2:17:29 PM |

^^no. the parents should just...be parents. It doesn't take a nutritionist to keep your kid from being obese.

The thing that saddens me most about the fat parent, fat kid thing is that the kids will very likely grow up being told they are just "genetically destined" to be fat. 10/28/2010 2:27:45 PM |
