Like I said before, we have to get to 50% obesity rate and when large numbers of us are dying off or becoming disabled in our 50-60’s . . . [/quote]
That might fix the social security problem.

ParticipantHere’s a nice picture that shows what happens to you when your diet contains excessive table sugar or HFCS:
http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/reprint/67/6/1186
Figure 4 (they messed up the labels, figure 4 really shows blood glucose, not fatty acids)
Low blood glucose (below fasting level just 3 hours after the meal) results in hunger and drives the desire to snack. And snacks are often sugary as well.
Interestingly, the article says that the primary culprit is fructose, because it is rapidly metabolized through a different pathway from glucose. Table sugar is 50% fructose, soft drink HFCS is 55% fructose, and food additive HFCS (such as the one that goes into candy bars) is 42% fructose. So, they are all very close to each other.

ParticipantSlightly O/T, but not really.
We were just informed by our neighbor that we should keep our kids off the sidewalk in front of her house, particularly when the kids are riding bikes, scooters, etc. She says that she and her husband (a childless couple) are afraid to leave their house because they worry that they might back out of their driveway and hit one of our kids.
FWIW, our kids do NOT play in their driveway, and only go by while riding on the sidewalk in front of the house.
She wants us to sign a release of liability of sorts so that we won’t sue them if they hit our kids. She also wants to report us to our landlord because our kids ride their bikes up and down the sidewalk. Mind you, our kids know to look for cars backing out, and know to stop and make eye contact when a car is going in or out of a driveway.
I should also mention that a number of other neighbors like us playing out front because they bring their kids over and we all play/hang out together.
See, it’s this kind of mentality that is making our kids obese, IMHO. Back in the day, we kids were like cockroaches all over the suburban streets. Now, we’re all supposed to keep them in the house, busied with video games and TV, I suppose.
Needless to say, I’m pi$$ed. Just needed to vent… 🙁
