Courting disaster

People may have their own take on Dr Phil, but he has some good thoughts on 'dieting' and weight.  He said that high fat, high calorie food has NEVER in the course of human history be as cheaply available as it is now.  He is not surprised that 40% of Americans are overweight - given how food is so available - he is surprised that 100% are not overweight.  And that is before all the food commercials.

Even for my grandparents generation (great-grandparents for some of you youngins), if they wanted fried chicken, they had to raise it, and then chase it around to catch and kill it, pluck it, and then cook it - it was a once in awhile treat - now people (no longer us) can eat fried chicken 3 meals a day without even getting out of the car. 

I have alot of retraining to do.
