>getting snotty with me on a post?
>wow, aint know you had it in you girl

Sure and there's a lot more where that came from. ;) But my post was not even trying to be funny. People love to talk about exercise and changing lifestyle but I still can't figure out when people who work 12-14 hours and still have to take care of their families are going to find the time to exercise.

There's a lot to this and it's not just obesity...and my grandmother was slim and trim and a alcoholic. She self-medicated to deal with the stress of her job. She didn't even know about meditation or yoga or even cardio.

My point is that at the core of the issue is how to make a change in the whole way of life, from the job to the home, from what you eat to what you do for leisure...and exercise. Many slim and obese folks in my family suffer from hypertension and other health-related ailments and their diet makes these problems worse...and not just pork.
