Why dont they ever show mario batali on a treadmill, or do a documentary of mario batali going to see a doctor. Sure, being obese is fine when most of the facts are covered up–like hollywood loves to do.

Mario batali seems to have no remorse for his contribution to condoning obesity. He is by far, a sick person. Obesity is a huge epidemic. He should admit that obesity is bad, and he should encourage (by example) that weight loss can counterbalance the adverse health effects of obesity.

I have seem a 400 pound man like him with his shirt off. He is disgusting, sweats profusely, sleeps in every day until noon, and is a glutton especially when he drinks. I’ve seen him eat a "meal for 8" from KFC if he gets drunk. Also he uses gobs of honey on the chicken AND the biscuits. The person now is undergoing lap-band surgery and seems to be working, losing 20 pounds in the first 4 weeks.

WOULD IT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING FOR THE NATION if tv chef-personalites were required to lose weight?

Now, you good people KNOW that it is the government’s job to protect us from ourselves, right?

No marijuana, no steroids, no HGH, no ephedrine . . .
The list is long and tedious.

Well, in the interest of further protecting us from ourselves, don’t you think the government should step in and control our caloric intake?

It’s for our own good, isn’t it?

Obesity, and its related illnesses, has reached an epidemic scale.

If you defend drug laws, then you MUST defend food laws.

More people are sickened/killed by obesity than by steroids, ephedrine, underage drinking, and marijuana COMBINED.

I am trying to find out how those that consider obesity believe that American corporations have promoted unhealthy and large portion diets that make them responsible for the epidemic.
