Lily ---- I never said that all obese people are lazy. Quite the opposite. And I agree with Peg, that it's mostly children who suffer from the television/video game/crap food combination, because overworked parents are too busy to pay attention to what their kids are doing/eating.

A couple of my friends are overweight, not due to laziness, but overwork. They are journalists who work long hours (sitting) and rarely have time to stop and have a healthy meal. There's fast food, there's free food at press functions, there's a 24-hour grocery up the street.

I was talking with a friend this weekend, who believes that the Desk Job has been a huge factor in the fattening up of America.
