  1. The Cause of Obesity

    And here we have another anecdote that muddies the waters. Your story isn't the first time I have heard something like this. I believe it is what a portion of the population experiences when they try to lose weight. What's the reason? I don't know. Probably at least partially due to...

  2. The Cause of Obesity

    "There is a genetic component to obesity" <--- this is one viewpoint. "There is a genetic component to obesity, and therefore obese people cannot change their condition and have no responsibility to manage it" <---- this is a different viewpoint.

  3. The Cause of Obesity

    I agree that the playing field is not level in terms of maintaining a lean figure. Different people have different natural predispositions to be skinny or fat. I think the portion control thing is a major part of what fuels the obesity predisposition. The body's natural signals to stop...

  4. The Cause of Obesity

    That's what I'm talking about. We usually see overweight people eating more than a skinny person. If it registers in our minds at all, then we usually just explain it to ourselves by thinking, "Yeah, it makes sense they're gonna eat more than I would eat, look at the huge body they're...

  5. 38, on TRT, and fighting back and shoulder acne

    Accutane works but there are plenty of horror stories with it too. Quite a few people think it thinned out their hair in a big way for example. IMHO the best way to do it would be to study the subject before going on the stuff, and probably do a lower dose size than the standard classic one...

  6. The Cause of Obesity

    IMHO portion control in our diets is a huge under-appreciated part of the story. I am a firm believer that some people are destined to be thin genetically and others are not. But I can't deny what I also see - every single overweight person I know eats 2x as much food as the skinny ones.

  7. Does Washington Owe Toyota an Apology?

    Toyota knew something was going on with the accidental accelerations years go. There were grumblings about it in the car repair industry long before the mainstream press ever heard about it. If there was any govt conspiracy it was to blow open a story that was already existing and being...

  8. Benefits of Walking

    I have gradually lost over 30 pounds of fat just from walking a few times a week. I go several miles now but I didn't start out going that far. IMHO there is not much excuse for not doing this one. It's not difficult. It won't hurt your joints. If you're fat then you are already better...

  9. USPS posts $3.1 billion loss in Q3, warns of default

    Ahh, those evil pension funds again. It's understandable for people to want good benefits but the profitable industries have already gotten out of that business years ago.

  10. Scientist creates inorganic life out of metal

    Wasn't this stuff hunting John Connor in one of those early Terminator movies?
